kindergarten

/ˈkɪndəɹˌɡɑːɹd(ə)n/noun

A school for young children, typically aged four to six, before they start regular schooling.

Example sentence

“My son starts kindergarten in September.”

Borrowed straight from German, where it means 'children's garden'. Note the '-ten' ending; 'kindergarden' is a common misspelling.
