Play was an important part of Wilderspin's system of education.

He published many works on the subject, and his work became the model for infant schools throughout England and further afield. Samuel Wilderspin opened his first infant school in London in 1819, and went on to establish hundreds more. His system was successful in producing obedient children with basic literacy and numeracy. In conjunction with his venture for cooperative mills, Owen wanted the children to be given a good moral education so that they would be fit for work. In 1816, Robert Owen, a philosopher and pedagogue, opened the first British and probably globally the first infants school in New Lanark, Scotland. In 1802, Princess Pauline zur Lippe established a preschool center in Detmold, the capital of the then principality of Lippe, Germany (now in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia).

At about the same time, in 1780, similar infant establishments were created in Bavaria. In 1779, Johann Friedrich Oberlin and Louise Scheppler founded in Strasbourg an early establishment for caring for and educating preschool children whose parents were absent during the day. History Kindergarten in Amsterdam 1880, by Max Liebermann Kindergarten, by Johann Sperl, circa 1885 Early years and development Today, the term is used in many countries to describe a variety of educational institutions and learning spaces for children ranging from two to six years of age, based on a variety of teaching methods. The term was coined by German pedagogue Friedrich Fröbel, whose approach globally influenced early-years education. Such institutions were originally made in the late 18th century in Germany, Bavaria and Alsace to serve children whose parents both worked outside home. Kindergarten is a preschool educational approach based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction as part of the transition from home to school.
