A collaborative community of educators, researchers, and early years practitioners dedicated to the pedagogical principles of Friedrich Froebel, the "inventor of kindergarten." The network aims to foster child-centered learning through play, nature, and self-activity. Governed primarily under the umbrella of the Froebel Trust (a registered charity), it provides a platform for professional dialogue, shared reflective practice, and research-led innovation. It operates through regional hubs across the UK—most notably in Scotland and London—to support practitioners in implementing holistic, autonomous, and relationship-driven educational frameworks within both state and independent early years settings.
