Origins

Owen founded the first infant school in 1816. The first nursery schools were organized by philanthropists and industrialists, and were essentially charitable social welfare institutions, called "New Schools for the Formation of Character".

The most influential kindergarten in the world was founded by a German educator, Flaubert, who in 1837 boldly recruited a group of children in Brandenburg, Germany, and established the world's first organization to educate preschoolers. In this organization, Flaubert neither subjected the children to monotonous drills nor to corporal punishment.

The children were often taken out into nature, and sometimes they worked together in the garden or indoors. He focused on developing the children's hands-on labor skills and their ability to work in groups. After years of experimentation, Flaubert suggested that such a school should be called a "kindergarten", and the name kindergarten spread from there.
