Kindergarten Narratives on Froebelian Education showcases the
latest scholarship and historical understandings concerning the
casting of the kindergarten idea abroad: across cultures,
continents and centuries. Each chapter reveals previously unknown
narratives of intrepid endeavour, political pragmatism and
pedagogical innovation that collectively provide insight into the
transformation of Froebel's ideas on early education into a global
phenomenon. Across global contexts, each chapter presents a case
study of the ideas scattering abroad, illustrative of the movement
of ideas, curricula and pedagogical change; in effect taking the
kindergarten beyond the geographies and pedagogies of its German
beginnings and borders. Chapters draw on historical examples of
Froebelian education from The Netherlands, New Zealand, Japan,
Sweden, the UK and the USA. In the journal History of Education in
2006, Froebelian history scholar Professor Kevin J. Brehony
(1948-2013) lamented the 'relative neglect' of the history of early
years education at the same time there was a heightened global
social and political interest in educating the young child. In this
book, an international team of contributors respond to Brehony's
suggestion that historical perspectives can play a role in current
debates and suggest ways historical narratives might inform
policies and practices in twenty-first century early childhood
education, care settings and contexts. Reconnecting past lessons
and insights with present and future concerns for early education,
young children and their place in society, this important
collection also includes an historical timeline charting the spread
of Froebelian education ideas and kindergartens across the world.
