English term or phrase: pre-K
"After close to 20 years of school reform measures, we now have some proven practices for increasing academic success," write Buell and Kralovec, citing a recent Rand Corporation study of academic achievement, which showed that states whose students' test results improved between 1993 and 1996 shared three important characteristics: smaller class size, more pre-K education and more teacher resources. "A call for more school funding should be the mantra of our profession," they write.

pre-k
Jardín de Infantes


Explanation:
Andrés: si la traducción es para nuestro país, pondría algo así como "mayor preparación en el Jardín de Infantes". No se te ocurra poner "Preescolar" porque aquí solo se aplica al último año del jardín, el que precede inmediatamente al primer año de la EGB.

disagree  Hardy Moreno: En EE.UU. jardin de infantes es kindergarten. Preescolar es o pre-kinder es pre-K o Preschool. He traducido para un distrito escolar por 7 años.

  -> antes de emitir una opinión deberías leer la respuesta completa. Dije "si la traducción es para nuestro país". En Argentina se denomina "Jardín de Infantes" a la enseñanza de los 2 a los 5 años y, dentro del Jardín se llama "Preescolar" al último año
agree  sileugenia: Así es. En la Argentina preescolar es sólo para niños de 5 años, lo anterior es jardín de infantes. Puede ser que en otros países sea distinta la denominación. Saludos.
