Elinor Goldschmeid Has Died

I was sad to read in today's Nursery World that Elinor Goldschmeid has died aged 98. A true pioneer whose life's work impacts upon our practice in so many ways, the article pays a glowing tribute to her, as you would expect. Amongst those quoted in the article, Professor Sonia Jackson and Jennie Lindon summed her philosophy up very succinctly. The former said "Above all, she saw infants and toddlers as individual people whose experiences and feelings are just as important as ours". Jennie Lindon said "her approach always placed babies and young children at the centre of any experience".

 

It says it all really.

ty Maz for bringing this to my attention

 

bless her

 

but wow what a life

 

Elinor must have had an amazing life and has inspired so many.The knowledge that I make an impression upon the lives and families of young children however small is something I hold very dear to me.

I've been ill recently and not been working. The smiles, laughs and contentment of working with young children has been greatly missed.

I have only just recently heard of this lady-when I was looking to purchase some treasure baskets for our childrens centre.I found the articles very interesting and she sounded like a very knowledgable lady.Sad to hear that news.

How on erath have you found time to read your NW already! Mine's still in its plastic bag!

I am on strike Cait. I'd go on a go slow but no-one would notice. And anyway, I didn't actually say I'd read it all did I? :o
