A Child's Work: Freedom and Guidance in Froebel's Educational Theory and Practice
Friedrich Froebel said, "A child's play is his work". This book presents a full account of this cornerstone of Froebel's philosophy. A firm believer in guided play as the most important learning tool for young children, Froebel was the inventor of the Kindergarten and the founder of the first teacher training college for women. |
