Early childhood education has evolved significantly over time. Key figures like Martin Luther, John Locke, John Amos Comenius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau influenced early philosophical approaches to early learning. The first public kindergarten opened in St. Louis in 1837 based on the ideas of Friedrich Froebel, who believed that play was integral to learning. Maria Montessori further developed experiential, hands-on learning approaches. More recently, acts like the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and Preschool for All Initiative of 2013 have aimed to expand access to early education programs.
