A fascinating look at different kindergartens around the world

In every country, kindergarteners are met with different rules and are educated according to different programs. For example, in China, young children learn how to make dumplings, little Germans spend their spare time picking strawberries, and Brazilian buddies watch soccer.

Today Bright Side would like to offer you a glimpse into the inner workings of kindergartens around the globe.

South Korea

That same year, an earthquake hit South Korea as well. In Seoul, kindergarteners hid under their tables.

Brazil

In Brazil, all children are raised as raving soccer fans, so kindergarten teachers often arrange for them to meet the players. Pictured here are kids watching a game against Germany.

France

In France, kindergarteners spend a lot of time drawing.

In Canada, teachers encourage children to spend as much time outside as possible. Pictured here are children playing superheroes in one of the kindergartens in Toronto.
