This is a new series of booklets making links between research, Froebelian principles and practice in early childhood education today.

These questions – and many others – are all addressed in the first three booklets in a new series of Research Highlights now available for free from the Froebel Trust website.

Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) was the inventor of kindergarten and a pioneer of early childhood education and care. He was a strong advocate of the importance of a well-trained, well-informed workforce, able to draw on knowledge from both practice and research. This new series reflects and builds on this advocacy, in making links between research, Froebelian principles and practice in early childhood education today.
