How it's used
While this term is technically correct, locals often shorten it to 幼稚園生 in casual conversation to save time. It is used to describe children typically aged three to six before they enter primary school. Using the full term sounds slightly more formal or official, such as when filling out school forms or speaking to teachers.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly add a measure word like 個 before the full phrase 幼稚園學生, but it is more natural to use it with the child directly, such as 嗰個幼稚園學生, or simply refer to them as 幼稚園生.
