Ireland? Kindergarten?

At what age do children start kindergarten in Ireland?

Kindergarten is used in some posh schools in Northern Ireland. They start at 3 or 4.

Its not called kindergarden in Ireland....can be called playschool maybe..children start school at 3-4 its called first infants - the name might vary from county to county....before 3-4 they go to a creche or montessori

its not called kindergaten its called pre-shcool or playschool
at age 3-4
then they go into school at age 5 to junior infants and then to senior infants then to 1st-6th(like 1st-6th grade) class after that so therefore irish kids get about 2 years more education than americans

It's called playschool in Ireland and it is optional, Kids go when they are 3-4 years old.

We don't have kindergarten. Children start school at age 4-5. Before that, they might have gone to playschool or montessori school for 1 or 2 years, but it's not necessary.
