Friedrich Wilhelm Froebel is the "Father of Kindergarten". Because of his beliefs that activity of a child in learning is important, he not only founded the Play and Activity Institute in 1837 at Bad Blankenburg for young children but he created the word kindergarten.

Was the first formal kindergarten in the US bilingual?

No; it was in the German language. The first kindergarten in the United States seems to have been one in Watertown, Wisconsin, in 1856. It was conducted in German because the founder of the "kindergarten movement," Friedrich Froebel, was from Germany and the first women he trained to teach kindergarten also spoke German (including Margarethe Meyer-Shurz, a German woman who came to America and began the kindergarten class in Wisconsin). The first English-language kindergarten was operated in Boston, beginning in 1860, by Elizabeth Peabody.
