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.
