There are 279 schools in the USA with the word kindergarten in the name.

The word "kindergarten" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it refers to the educational level that traditionally serves as the first formal year of schooling for young children, typically around ages five or six. The term originated in Germany in the 19th century, meaning "children's garden," and was introduced to the United States in the late 1800s as part of early childhood education reforms. Kindergarten quickly became a widely accepted and essential part of the American public school system, reflecting the belief that early childhood education lays the foundation for later academic and social success. As a result, many schools incorporate the term in their names to clearly indicate their focus on serving young children and to align with the well-established educational tradition in the United States.
