There is also a nursery school system. We azre not sure when pre-schools were first established. We suspect that the German Kindergarten movement was influentiakl, but have few details at this time. We believe that the Dutch have a fairly advanced system of pre-primary education, but have few details at this time. We know little about the pre-school program or the difference between state a private schools. Hopefully Dutch readers will provide some basic information. Presumably bprivate nursery schools are available for very young children. As we understand it, state pre-schools are available for children beginning at age 4 years. Attendance is compulsory at age 5-years. We know that the nursery school chilfren do not have the regular 5-day week.
