Do I capitalize preschool?
I’m writing an essay and would like clarification on whether to capitalize the word "preschool" along with other educational terms. So far, my text reads: "In Chile, there are four levels of education. The first level is preschool, followed by primary school, secondary school, and finally, technical and higher education."

No, you wouldn’t capitalize preschool unless it’s the name of a specific preschool. The name of a specific preschool is a proper noun, which has to be capitalized. Just the word preschool is a common noun, so it should not be capitalized. Also, primary, secondary, technical, and higher should not be capitalized either, for the same reason.
No.
Only capitalize if they are the names of specific schools:
George Washington Preschool
Dakota Primary School
Warren County High School
Art & Design Technical School
Columbia College
etc.
“higher education” would never be capitalized.
You only capitalize the letter “p” in the word “preschool” if the word is at the begining of a sentence.

Generally, no. But it’s a nice point in this instance; I think you’d be justified in capitalizing the four levels of education like four ‘titles’ (sub-heads) in your essay.
