حضانة and Yes, there is a difference ...
Explanation:
Kindergarten:
A group or class that is part of a public school program, and is taught during the year preceding first grade.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&defl=en&q=define:Kind...

Preschool:

A beginning group or class enrolling children younger than 5 years old and organized to provide educational experience under professionally qualified teachers in cooperation with parents during the year or years immediately preceding kindergarten (or before entry into elementary school when there is no kindergarten).

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&defl=en&q=define:Pres...

Kindergarten is considered one part of the series of school years, while pre school years are not. Kids at preschool are usually between the ages of 1 and 3 1/2, while they get to kindergarten on the age of 4 and above.

Reference: My own experience with my son :P

Preschool is حضانة and kindergarten is روضة ... some countries may use different terms for kindergarten (in the gulf we used to call it روضة or رياض الأطفال, but here in Palestine we call it بستان)

agree  Nivo: Preschool comes before kindergarden which is حضانة
6 hrs
  -> That is right, thanks Nivo :-D
neutral  Hassan Al-Haifi (wordforword): nursery or حضانة may be termed as pre-school, but the all inconclusive term would be as suggested by yours truly.

قبل سن المدرسة؛ ما قبل المدرسة؛ قبل دخول المدرسة؛ قبل التعليم الأساسي؛ قبل التعليم الإلزامي


Explanation:
ليس المعني بالضرورة هو الحضانة أو أي انخراط في مؤسسة تعليمية على الإطلاق. ربما كان هذا المعنى ليصبح أوضح إذا قيل
education
وليس
learning
ذات الأبعاد النفسية والعلمية أكثر.
يمكن استخدام الإلزامي في حالة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، أو إن كان البلد المشار إليه يطبق نظاما شبيها يجبر الطفل على الالتحاق بمدرسة قبل أي خروج محتمل ومواصلة التعليم في المنزل أو غير ذلك.
