- Chuang Tzu.
In 1837, Frederick
Froebel started the first school for four and five year
olds in Germany.
He called it 'kindergarten,' or a children's garden, and made
it into a paradisiacal sanctuary where teachers read kids poetry
and stories, led them in singing songs, and oversaw them as
they gardened and played outdoors. Government authorities later
shut the place down, citing the 'dangerous freedom' of the experiment.
