Kindergarten
A kindergarten (from German Kindergarten , literally "children's garden") is a preschool educational institution for children. The term was created by Friedrich Fröbel for the play and activity institute that he created in 1837 in Bad Blankenburg as a social experience for children for their transition from home to school.
The Head Start Program is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive education, health, nutrition , and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The program's services and resources are designed to foster stable family relationships, enhance children’s physical and emotional well-being, and establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills. Launched in 1965 [ 1 ] by its creator and first director Jule Sugarman , Head Start was originally conceived as a catch-up summer school program that would teach low-income children in a few weeks what they needed to know to start kindergarten.

Public university
In formal education , a curriculum ( pron.: / k ə ˈ r ɪ k jʉ l əm / ; plural: curricula / k ə ˈ r ɪ k jʉ l ə / or curriculums ) is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university . As an idea, curriculum came from the Latin word "Currere" which means to run/to proceed , referring to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow to become mature adults . A curriculum is prescriptive, and is based on a more general syllabus which merely specifies what topics must be understood and to what level to achieve a particular grade or standard. Curriculum has numerous definitions, which can be slightly confusing. In its broadest sense a curriculum may refer to all courses offered at a school. This is particularly true of schools at the university level, where the diversity of a curriculum might be an attractive point to a potential student.
