unless the kindergarten is playfully toying with numbers already, usually with no obligation but as an enrichment for those kids who love such activities.
In case anyone is curious, this person has experience teaching children mathematics. For example, on his blog, we have

The most recent post in his category "Math for Kids" is in fact teaching how to count ordinals up to omega-squared: http://jdh.hamkins.org/counting-to-infinity-poster/
