or Friedrich Wilhelm Fröbel
born April 21, 1782, Oberweissbach, Thuringia, Ernestine Saxony
died June 21, 1852, Marienthal, near Bad Liebenstein, Thuringia
Influenced by the theories of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, he founded an infant school in 1837 that he later called the
Kindergarten, or "garden of children." He believed in "self-activity" and play as essential factors in child education, the teacher's role being not to drill or indoctrinate but rather to encourage self-expression through play. He greatly influenced modern techniques in
preschool education, including the ideas of John Dewey.
