Froebel

Friedrich Froebel was a German educator known for founding the kindergarten concept in the 19th century. He believed that play is essential for children's learning and development. Froebel emphasized the importance of hands-on activities, creativity, and nature in early childhood education. His approach encourages children to explore, discover, and express themselves through play, using materials he called "gifts" that stimulate learning. Froebel's ideas laid the groundwork for modern early childhood education, highlighting the importance of nurturing a child's innate curiosity and potential. His influence remains evident in educational practices around the world today.
