kindergarten

Kindergarten is a formal educational setting for young children, typically ages 4 to 6, acting as a bridge between home and primary school. It emphasizes social, emotional, and cognitive development through play-based learning and structured activities. Children engage in activities that promote literacy, numeracy, creativity, and critical thinking, while also learning essential social skills like sharing, cooperation, and communication. Kindergarten serves as an important foundation, helping children develop a love for learning and preparing them for the more structured environment of elementary school. It plays a critical role in early childhood education and development.
