Maternal Teaching By: Ginnie Andrews and Kristen Volker
Brief History of Kindergarten • In 1860, Elizabeth Peabody attempted to construct one of the first private kindergarten classrooms in Boston • In 1877, Felix Adler founded a free kindergarten class in New York • Also in 1877, Pauline Agassiz Shaw opened two classrooms, which soon grew to thirty-one
Quote: • “If these schools were nothing more than large nurseries, and only kept the children out of mischief and out of danger, they would be well worth supporting. But they do a great deal more than this. They instruct them in those things which pertain to the life that now is and that which is to come. The children are made better, wiser, happier.”
