The Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten was founded in Savannah by the children of Kate A. Baldwin. It was incorporated in 1899 as a "benevolent and charitable institution for the free training, instruction, and education of young children under the kindergarten system of education, so as to inculcate in them habits of industry and morality and fit them for entrance into institutions of higher education" as a memorial to Kate A. Baldwin. It operated kindergartens (as many as five at one time) and a training school (also referred to as the Normal Department) for kindergarten teachers. The Kate Baldwin Kindergarten Alumnae Association is composed of the graduates of the training school and teachers.
