Kindergartens don’t take children under a specified age, say 2.5 (kindergartens all differ with what age they will take children). The ratios of adult to child at Kindergarten are 1:15, whereas Care and Education centres are 1:10 (over 2's) and 1:5 (under 2's).

Kindergartens tend to operate sessions of 4 or 6 hrs only. Learning curriculum and programme requirements are exactly the same for kindergartens and early learning centres, and certified teachers require the same qualification and registration status. Early learning centres and kindergartens are governed by the same bodies - Ministry of Education and ERO.
