When I started school in Richmond in 1940, we spent a year in Junior Primary
1, a year in Junior Primary 2, and then went into the 2nd grade. Although
JP1 wasn't called Kindergarten, that's basically what it was.

A short, and probably incomplete answer is that the Virginia Department of
Education first provided state-aid to funding for Kindergarten classes in
1966. That said, I would be almost certain that the kindergarten concept
was implemented in places throughout Virginia as its popularity grew
beginning with its introduction into the United States in the 19th century.
