Preschools provide education from ages approximately three to seven, depending on the country
when children enter primary education. The children now readily interact with their peers and the
educator.[17] These are also known as nursery schools and as kindergarten, except in the US, where
the term kindergarten refers to the earliest levels of primary education. [19] Kindergarten "provides a
child-centred, preschool curriculum for three- to seven-year-old children that aim[s] at unfolding the
child's physical, intellectual, and moral nature with balanced emphasis on each of them." [20] This is
ISCED level 02.[17]
