Children's Day History in the US 

At the very start, Children's Day was celebrated with Mother's Day and Father's Day and had no special day. Then in 1856, Rev. Charles H. Leonard, who was a pastor in First Universalist Church of Chelsea, kept aside a Sunday to celebrate the children who dedicated their lives to God. In 1867, a law was passed to set aside a day to celebrate Children's Day.
