"Regular" or academic kindergarten typically involves more direct instruction of math, reading, writing, and science skills. The focus is on the acquisition of specific academic skills, such as reading and adding numbers before first grade. There are many advantages to academic classrooms, but they have been criticized for their intensity and focus on academic skills. Many parents and experts claim that students still need time to "play" and learn about the world around them through more informal learning. Therefore, younger children are sometimes held back a year if there parents have an option when an academic classroom is awaiting them.
 
"Developmental" or "child-centered" kindergarten, on the other hand, involves a focus on inspiring a love of learning. Learning is still a big part of  developmental programs, but it is learning in a more general sense. The organization of the physical space is very important and students learn through engagement with sand boxes, crayons, and other items in the room.
