history of kindergarten  

Definition

  • Kindergartens were originally conceived by Friedrich Froebel (1782–1852), a German educator, as preschool instruction for children three to seven years of age. The word kindergarten means “child's garden” in German and reflects Froebel's belief that education should help children realize their natural, inner potential.
