Popular Article: Kindergarten
Kindergarten (German for Garden for Children) is used in many parts of the world for the first stages of a child's classroom education. In some places kindergarten is part of the formal school system; in others it may refer to preschool or daycare. In all cases, kindergarten functions as a transition between the home environment, primarily involving play and family based activities, to the more structured environment of a larger group of peers led by adults who are not their parents. Based on the philosophy of the German educator Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel, kindergarten activities, while structured, generally focus on play and creative activities teaching about nature, at the same time introducing the children to appropriate forms of interpersonal relationships in a wider social group.
