Frederick Froebel; (the Inventor of Kindergarten, nature)

Prior to the 19th century, few people thought to educate children before the age of seven. So it
was a big idea indeed when the German educator Friedrich Fröbel (1782-1852) opened the
first kindergarten in 1837, grounded in “play and activity” and the nurturing of creativity
through the systematic deployment of a sequence of “gifts” (coloured balls, geometrical
building blocks, mosaic tiles, etc). Fröbel was using nature as the model of perfection to
educate children. His goals were to teach children how to learn, observe, reason, express and
create through play, employing philosophies of unity and interconnectedness. Kindergarten
grew to become a familiar institution throughout the world by the end of the 19th century.
