Fröbel

Friedrich Fröbel was a 19th-century German educator best known for creating the concept of kindergarten, emphasizing the importance of play and hands-on activities in early childhood learning. He believed that children learn best through their natural curiosity and interactions with their environment. Fröbel developed educational tools called "gifts" and "occupation blocks" to promote creativity, problem-solving, and foundational skills. His approach focuses on nurturing a child's individuality and fostering a love of learning from an early age, laying the groundwork for modern early childhood education practices.
