Biographical History
Begun in 1881 in Indianapolis, Ind. as the Children's Aid Society to assess the educational needs of poor children. In 1884 the Society became the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten and Children's Aid Society with the mission of providing educational and moral training to poor children, ages 3-8. Superintendent Eliza A. Blaker also began a kindergarten teacher training school, the Indianapolis Kindergarten and Primary Normal Training School. In 1907 it became the Teachers College of Indianapolis, and in 1930 became part of the Education Department at Butler University. Because of the efforts of the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten, by 1952 kindergartens were a part of the Indianapolis Public School system.
