Polish term or phrase: samorzadowe przedszkole
self-governing? If so, it seems strange. I visualize a buch of K-aged children running around according to their own rules. I do not even know what this name means in practical terms. Who oversees such a kindergarten? And what makes is "samorzadowe"? How is it different from not "samorzadowe". Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions.

English translation:municipal/community kindergarden
Explanation:
Samorządowe is maintained by the local/municipal authorities. (Same happens with schools). Nowadays there are no longer state schools/kindergardens - they all are run by the local self government (samorząd). The point is that though all are run by local self government they are usually named 'public' or 'municipal'. If you need an opposite to smorządowe there are company kindergardens as an example.

Explanation:
Kindergarten to takie cos, jak w Polsce zerowka. Mysle, ze zasady sa takie same: zbiera sie grupa roddzicow, ktorzy zakladaja szkole, w tym przypadku przedszkole.
