Kindergarten is a special place for young children to learn and grow. It's usually the first step before they go to elementary school and takes place when they are usually between 4 and 6 years old. In kindergarten, children learn how to share, get along with other kids, listen to directions, and explore new concepts like shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. They also learn how to follow a schedule and be more independent, so when they go to elementary school, they'll know what to expect and be ready to learn.
