Explanation

  • Kindergarten is a school for small children just before they enter grade school.

    Be Careful! The Japanese word 幼稚園 can be translated as either kindergarten or “preschool/nursery school”.
  • kindergarten は、小学校に上がる前の子どもを対象にした教育機関のことです。

    注意：日本語の「幼稚園」を英語訳すると、kindergarten または preschool、nursery school になります。

    NOTE:＊アメリカのほとんどの kindergarten は、５歳から６歳までの１年間、子どもを教育します。
