In just general context, it’s a common noun. It would be a proper noun *only* if you’re referring to a specific school, like …

“My child went to school at Happy Days Kindergarten.”

kindergarten is a common noun. It’s just a way of identifying a thing and is written in lower case. Other common nouns are team, dog, car, etc.

A proper noun is used as a name of a person or a thing and is written in upper case.

For example:

restaurant, kindergarten = common names

Applebee’s Restaurant, Highland’s Kindergarten = proper names

common noun because the word kindergarden talks about any kindergarden. If it was called Miller Kindergarden, then it would be a proper noun.

Common noun. Proper nouns are the names of people, products, schools, etc.

The word is “kindergarten” and it’s a common noun, because it could mean any kindergarten. If you were to say The Sunnybrook Kindergarten, then that would be a proper noun, because it would be the name of a particular one.

Commen. Proper Nouns have capital letters like Wal Mart or Joe. Proper Nouns are usually names or Stores, Holidays, ect.
