Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published as "Reminiscences of Friedrich Froebel," this enchanting 1894 account of the German inventor of kindergartens was instrumental in bringing kindergartens to the United States. This lively portrait of a pioneer of modern education is a refreshing reminder of the essential role of play and creative exploration in the development of children. Froebel's methods provide a much-needed antidote to the current emphasis on high-stakes testing and accelerated curricula--a corruption, as Herbert Kohl argues in his foreword, of the original concept of kindergartens as children's gardens of learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early care and education for many children in the United States is in crisis. The period between birth and kindergarten is a critical time for child development, and socioeconomic disparities that begin early in children’s lives contribute to starkly different long-term outcomes for adults. Yet, compared to other advanced economies, high-quality child care and preschool in the United States are scarce and prohibitively expensive for many middle-class and most disadvantaged families. To what extent can early-life interventions provide these children with the opportunities that their affluent peers enjoy and contribute to reduced social inequality in the long term? Cradle to Kindergarten offers a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy that diagnoses the obstacles to accessible early education and charts a path to opportunity for all children. The U.S. government invests less in children under the age of five than do most other developed nations. Most working families must seek private childcare, which means that children from low-income households, who would benefit most from high-quality early education, are the least likely to attend them. Existing policies, such as pre-kindergarten in some states are only partial solutions. To address these deficiencies, the authors propose to overhaul the early care system, beginning with a federal paid parental leave policy that provides both mothers and fathers with time and financial support after the birth of a child. They also advocate increased public benefits, including an expansion of the child care tax credit, and a new child care assurance program that subsidizes the cost of early care for low- and moderate-income families. They also propose that universal, high-quality early education in the states should start by age three, and a reform of the Head Start program that would include more intensive services for families living in areas of concentrated poverty and experiencing multiple adversities from the earliest point in these most disadvantaged children’s lives. They conclude with an implementation plan and contend that these reforms are attainable within a ten-year timeline. Reducing educational and economic inequalities requires that all children have robust opportunities to learn, fully develop their capacities, and have a fair shot at success. Cradle to Kindergarten presents a blueprint for fulfilling this promise by expanding access to educational and financial resources at a critical stage of child development.

Download or read book Kindergartens in the United States written by Department of the Interior, United States Bureau of Education (ED). and published by . This book was released on 1914 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The survey of the status of kindergartens in the United States for the school year 1911-1912 was made with the idea of gathering together quantitative facts. The question-forms, therefore, asked chiefly for returns in figures, and these will be found summarized and tabulated in the statistical section of this bulletin. Figures are significant if read back into the setting from which they were taken, and interpreted in relation to their context; they are rich material to one who makes a rich use of them, but void otherwise. The statistics given in Section II should accordingly be read with direct reference to the material presented in the other sections, particularly the opinions of superintendents, primary supervisors, and grade teachers in different cities. It is interesting to note the numerical extension of public kindergartens and all other kinds of kindergartens at the close of June, 1912, particularly in comparison with the figures obtained by the Bureau of Education in 1902, and published in the Commissioner's Report for that year. These figures showed a total of 3,244 kindergartens, with an enrollment of 205,432 children. Contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) Statistics; (3) Kindergartens as viewed by superintendents, primary supervisor and first-grade teachers; and (4) Abstracts of papers read at the meeting of the International Kindergarten Union, Washington, D.C. (Contains 6 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the nineteenth century, the German kindergarten - banned by the Prussian government as revolutionary - spread rapidly to nations around the globe, becoming at once a local and modernising institution. This book is a collection of case studies that describe the remarkable diffusion, adoption, and transformation of the kindergarten in eleven modern and developing nations. The contributors to the volume examine the process by which the idea of the kindergarten arrived and was adopted in these countries - a process that invariably demonstrated the immense power of local cultures, whether Christian, Buddhist, or Islamic, to respond to and reformulate borrowed ideas. Borrowing cultures do not engage in passive mimicry, the studies show, but recast ideas for their own purposes. Beginning with Germany, the chapters of this book follow the kindergarten idea as it passed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the United States, then England, Australia, Japan, China, Poland, Russia, Vietnam, Turkey, and Israel. The contributors examine such complex political, social, and cultural issues as the relationship of gender to national educational policies, the impact of mi
