History of the WORD "Kindergarden"

The word "Kindergarden" comes from the German word "Kinder", meaning "Kid/ child". So it basically means "Kidsgarden" or "Childsgarden!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.78.59 (talk) 23:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

"Kind" means "Kid/ child". Kinder is the plural. 2003:CC:8704:6F00:F0EF:4E12:1C31:98EC (talk) 19:22, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Kindergarten as word composition

Unlike the article assumes, there's no preposition in the german composition Kindergarten. Taking it figuratively is what germans like me think about it:

It's about growth... about small humans associated to flowers;) Florian Gutmann 18 July 2017‎ (UTC)

1st sentence is antiquated

"Kindergarten is a preschool educational approach based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction as part of the transition from home to school."

I'm a teacher, and my first year teaching was in kindergarten, 24 years ago. Kindergarten in America, at least, as not been like that statement in at least over a quarter century. That sounds like kindergarten when I was little, in the 1980s. It's certainly not true now, and hasn't been for many years. For many years, kindergarten has been much more like what first grade used to be. ~2026-2678 (talk) 19:34, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
