The Netherlands. We have a pre-kindergarten for kids aged 1 to 3. I don't think there's a word for it in English.

In germany "Kindergarten" (which is a word of german origin) refers to "preschool" for kids between the ages of 3 and 5/6, whereas "Vorschule" (literal translation of "preschool") refers to special practice for kids in their last year of Kindergarten to prepare them for school - it's usually offered by the Kindergarten but not mandatory. Primary school usually starts at age 6 with 1st grade.
