How does the gardener treat his plants? He studies their individual natures, and puts them into such circumstances of soil and atmosphere as enable them to grow, flower, and bring forth fruit, also to renew their manifestation year after year.

Usage notes The German institution is not regarded as a school, but as a form of day care. There is an element of de Erziehung upbringing, character formation, but none of de Bildung learning, school education. The actual German equivalent of a en kindergarten in the American sense is de Vorschule preschool. Kindergarten generally refers to facilities for children between 2 or 3 and 6 or 7. It may be distinguished from de Krippe, for children from birth until 2 or 3, and from de Hort, which provides afterschool care for older children. In some states, it is a synonym of de Kindertagesstätte while in others this is a broader term encompassing Krippe, Kindergarten and Hort.
