The origins of the first kindergartens can be traced to Germany, where Friedrich Fröbel started a preschool devoted to the education and development of young children. Kindergartens (German for "Children's Garden), spread rapidly throughout Europe, as many people saw the benefits of starting the educational process early.

Margarethe Meyer, a young woman visited one of Froebel's kindergartens and saw the value of what the kindergarten did. She employed many of Froebel's techniques when caring for the local children in Wisconsin, leading them in games, songs, and group activities. Other Wisconsin parents were impressed and encouraged her to open a kindergarten in Watertown. She opened the kindergarten in 1856.
