“Raising children from a young age,” choosing the right age for your child to start preschool is always a concern for parents. So, what is kindergarten age? This article will answer all parents’ questions about preschool age, along with helpful experiences from my 12+ years working with children.
Kindergarten Age According to Current Regulations
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, children from 18 months to 6 years old are considered to be of kindergarten age. This age group is divided into the following classes:
- Nursery (18 months – 36 months): This stage focuses on nurturing, care, and developing basic skills for children.
- Preschool (3 years – 6 years): Children begin to be exposed to educational activities in a more structured way, preparing for elementary school.
Addressing Common Questions About Kindergarten Age
Is 2 Years Old Too Early for Preschool?
Many parents wonder if 2 years old is too early for their child to start preschool. In fact, whether or not a 2-year-old should go to school depends on each child’s development and family conditions. Some 2-year-olds are already very independent and adapt quickly to new environments, but others need more time with their families. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert in Hanoi, in her book “Raising 2-year-olds,” also emphasizes the importance of observing and respecting the individual development of each child.
When is the Right Time to Start Preschool?
The ideal time to send a child to preschool is usually around 3 years old. At this age, children can be independent in some personal activities and are ready to absorb new knowledge. However, parents also need to be flexible based on their child’s personality and development.

Spiritual Beliefs About Starting School
Our ancestors often had the concept of “Tam tai, Tu tuyet, Ngu ly huong.” Among them, “Ngu ly huong” implies that at the age of five, children should not go far or change their living environment. However, this is just a folk belief. Deciding when to send a child to preschool depends on many factors, and the most important is still the child’s development and adaptability.
