Interesting. I always thought preschool and nursery school were the same thing and that the year before kindergarten was pre-k?

Re: Preschool & Nursery School, What's the Difference?

In my school, Nursery is for 3 yr. olds and Pre-K is for 4 yr. olds.

ETA: I think preschool is a catch all term for any type of school before Kindergarten, at least that's how I've understood it. Kind of like the all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares theory.Chat Icon

Re: Preschool & Nursery School, What's the Difference?

I sort of thought they were the same. I know the school district program the year before K is called "pre-k".

I saw a couple of signs today that said Nursery School, one at a methodist church, one at a temple, so that's what prompted me to ask. I wasn't sure if nursery was considered religious and pre-school is not.

Pre-K is for 4 yr olds before starting Kindergarten

At DS's old school, he went to preschool at age 3, and pre-K at age 4.
