Nursery/Preschool/Kindergarden confusion

[wannamove]

I have been browsing these forums and the terminology is kind of confusion. Can someone shed a light on what these terms mean?

Did I kind of get it right?

Nursery - till age of 3 (?)
Preschool = Kindergarden - 3-5 yrs

There are different names for some of the same years depending on what school the child attends. Below is a basic summation for most International Schools:

Nursery: 2-4

K1, P1, PreK or Year 1: 4 turning 5
K2, P2, Kindergarten or Year 2: 5 turning 6

First Grade or Year 3: 6 turning 7

The "Year 1, 2, 3" are for the British School system. The Australian school is also on a different calendar (January intake) so the ages of the child may vary than from the above. I'm not sure if this is also the same for the local schools.

Thank you so much! That was very enlightening. I was just getting overwhelmed with the terminology
