Germany (the first): In 1837 Friedrich Froebel (German educationalist) founded his own school and called it "kindergarten," or the children's garden.
United States: The first English-language kindergarten in the US was founded by Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, who was born on 16 May 1804. Peabody opened her kindergarten in 1860 in Massachusetts, based on the premise that children's play has basic educational and developmental value.
Kindergarten: German : Kinder, genitive pl. of Kind, child (from Middle High German kint, from Old High German kind) + Garten, garden (from Middle High German garte, from Old High German garto).]

Kindergarten was an idea from German philosophers in the mid 19th century. The first kindergarten was introduced to the United States in St. Louis MO, and quickly spread to the rest of the country. I remember seeing that on PBS, but I can't remember the name of the gal who founded the first one.
