Every school in America does this, but in English of course. I came to Canada at the age of four and enrolled in kindergarden without knowing a word of English. I don't remember much but I know I was able to assimilate fairly well and able to pass without being held back. At that age, the mind is an amazing thing and children just soak everything up.
