Kindergarten is a form of education for young children which serves as a transition from home to the commencement of more formal schooling. Children are taught to develop basic skills through creative play and social interaction. Children attend kindergarten to learn to communicate, play, and interact with others appropriately. This book presents and discusses topical data on kindergartens including: whether preparatory abilities in kindergarten are predictors for later proficient arithmetic abilities; kindergarten readiness; early foreign language learning in kindergarten; environmental conditions in kindergartens; kindergartens as a meeting place for mothers; verbal communication during mathematical activities in kindergarten; music education in kindergarten; and others.
