Kindergarten is an early childhood education program designed for children typically aged 5 to 6 years. It serves as a transition from home or preschool to formal schooling, focusing on social, emotional, and cognitive development. Activities often include play, storytelling, and basic lessons in numbers and letters. In kindergarten, children learn important skills such as sharing, cooperation, and following instructions. The curriculum usually emphasizes hands-on learning through games and creative projects, helping children develop a love for learning. This foundational year prepares them for the more structured environment of elementary school.
