1. 1870s-1910s: Fledgling kindergartens in the colonial education landscape -- 2. 1920s-1930s: Creating a national kindergarten voice -- 3. 1940s-1950s: Brokering a new political partnership -- 4. 1960s-1970s: building the kindergarten flagship -- 5. 1980s-1990s: Levelling the early childhood landscape -- 6. 2000s-2010s: Kindergarten in new political times.

Summary: "The first kindergartens appeared here in colonial times-a revolutionary idea imported from Germany that suggested children would unfold through play. This book tells the story of how those ideas were adopted, adapted, and thrived in New Zealand. With the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Union (now NZ Kindergartens) about to enter its centennial decade, it is time to remember the people who have been central to the movement and how they have nurtured it for future generations."--Publisher's website.
