Kindergarten (from German, which literally means "garden for the children") is a preschool educational approach traditionally based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction as part of the transition from home to school.

The first such institutions were created in the late 18th century in Bavaria and Strasbourg to serve children whose parents both worked out of the home.

The term was coined by the German Friedrich Fröbel, whose approach globally influenced early-years education.

Today, the term is used in many countries to describe a variety of educational institutions and learning spaces for children ranging from two to seven years of age, based on a variety of teaching methods.

A preschool (also nursery school, pre-primary school, kindergarten outside the US and UK) is an educational establishment or learning space offering early childhood education to children, usually between the ages of three and five, prior to the commencement of compulsory education at primary school.

They may be privately operated or government run, and one option is to subsidize the costs.

Elementary school is a school for students at their first school years, before they enter secondary education.

The exact ages vary by country.

Elementary school is usually part of the compulsory education, especially in the Western countries.

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty.

Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences which may lead to a potential change in synthesizing information, depth of the knowledge, attitude or behavior relative to the type and range of experience.

The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, plants and some machines.

Progress over time tends to follow a learning curve.

Learning does not happen all at once, but it builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge.

To that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural knowledge.

Learning produces changes in the organism and the changes produced are relatively permanent.
