| Abstract | Brief discussion of competing claims for the first person to establish a kindergarten in America. Margarethe Meyer Schurz opened a kindergarten class in her home in Watertown, Wisconsin, in 1856. Caroline Louisa Frankenberg is reported to have opened a kindergarten in Columbus, Ohio, in 1838. Although her first attempt failed after a few years, Frankenberg tried again in 1858 and achieved greater success. |
