Working collaboratively and building positive relationships with children, their families and educators.We are a partnership of people and organisations who are inspired and guided by the principles and pedagogy of Friedrich Froebel.Friedrich Froebel was a nineteenth-century German educator and creator of the kindergarten and is arguably the most significant of the pioneers of early years education and care. Froebel ‘wanted to educate people to be free, to think, to take action for themselves' (Froebel in Lilley 1967:41).Froebel created the first kindergarten, a place where children can grow and develop at their own pace, nurtured by knowledgeable and supportive adults. Froebel saw children as active, curious, creative learners who learn best through activity, play, talk, and self-reflection. They thrive when they are emotionally secure and in close relationships with others, including the family and wider community. Froebel rejected the tradition of teacher-led education which viewed children as passive learners. Rather he believed in education through activity and enquiry. He saw the earliest years of a child's life as the most formative and play as the leading form of development. These ideas and their practical applications in the kindergarten were radical concepts at that time.
