Everywhere I have ever lived in the U.S. has had public Kindergarten. I assume this is probably a regional difference in terms, though? In the U.S. Kindergarten is just the grade before 1st grade. Any schooling/day care before that is usually called "preschool" and is often funded to some extent at the state level but if so is usually limited only to low income individuals.
