United States
In the United States, nursery school is provided in a variety of settings. In general, pre-school is meant to promote development in children through planned programs.
Pre-school is defined as: "center-based programs for four-year olds that are fully or partially funded by state education agencies and that are operated in schools or under the direction of state and local education agencies".
Pre-schools, both private and school sponsored, are available for children from ages three to five. Many of these programs follow similar curriculum as pre-kindergarten.
The requirements to be a Nursery School Teacher vary by state; some states require a teaching certification, college degree and/or a state license.
