Abstract: Abstract The Soviet period saw the development of a significant public kindergarten system in Central Asia. About a half of children in the target age group in 1991 attended kindergartens in Kazakhstan, over 40 per cent in Uzbekistan, and around a third in Kyrgyzstan. Within the kindergarten system — as with other types of social service — state-owned enterprises (including collective farms) had traditionally been major providers of facilities, reflecting the dual productive and welfare functions of enterprises. Indeed, municipal kindergartens (those run by the Ministry of Education) accounted for only a quarter of total kindergartens in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 1991 and a third in Uzbekistan.
