Both nurseries and pre-prep schools cater to young children, but pre-prep schools typically admit students starting at the age of four, whereas some nurseries accept children as young as three months old.
Children as young as six weeks may be admitted to nursery schools. They would typically remain in the nursery school and progress to the preschool classrooms after spending time in the infant rooms. Some nursery schools also offer after-school care to children of school age.
