Each year on April 21st, National Kindergarten Day honors the birthday of the man Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel (April 21, 1782 – June 21, 1852) who is credited with starting the very first Kindergarten class in Blankenburg, Germany, in 1837.
Frobel was a German teacher and a student of Johann Pestalozzi. Frobel laid a foundation for modern education, recognizing that children learn through play and experience.
The kindergarten classes fostered Frobel’s social experience for children and also allowed them to smoothly transition from home to school.
