Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The term “Kindergarten” comes from German, where:
“Kinder” means children, and
“Garten” means garden.
So, Kindergarten literally means “a garden of children”, symbolizing a school where children grow and develop naturally — just like plants in a garden.
It was introduced by Friedrich Froebel, who believed early education should be play-based, creative, and nurturing, rather than rigid or formal.
