Switzerland's approaches to school readiness
  1. "Kindergarten"
    1. Children usually start between 5 and 6 and attend for two years.
      1. The general principle is that children in early years settings should not learn to read and write, but to develop their social skills and get used to sitting quietly and paying attention to a teacher.
