Kindergarten in the United States is a program usually designed for 5-year-olds, but it sometimes includes 4- to 6-year-olds, which provides well-developed learning opportunities to build a child’s social and educational skills and prepare for change, in the first grade, and just in school. In most states, children must be 5 years old by late summer or fall in order to enroll in kindergarten.
Kindergarten is a preschool educational approach based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction.
