I am currently doing a research paper on 19th Century Manual Training programs, based on the doctrines of Froebel and Pestalozzi. I found your web site and links to be extremely helpful to my research. Thanks for the site.

I just stopped by your site again. It is much improved from an already wonderful site. Thank you for a wonderful service in providing this site.

I am studying for my comprehensive exam in early childhood education at California State University, Los Angeles. This site is a great resource.

I have been to your web site which has given the best information yet. I have printed most of it off and will spend some time reading through. Many thanks.

Thank you, I am working on my degree, in Child Development and Education. This information helped me with one of my assignments.

I am conducting a research project involving kindergarten programs. I am enjoying using your site and appreciate your informative presentation on Froebel.

You have a very useful information. I am a college (pre-school teacher) student

Thanks! I'm doing a school project on the origins of kindergarten in the US, since Froebel was basically the founder, this was very helpful!

This was very informative and helped tie up some loose ends for an important research paper! What a great discovery this was!

This is an interesting site that I have bookmarked because of my interest in Frank Lloyd Wright and Froebel Blocks. I am also interested in the 1998 exhibition.

I am a graduate student and I am doing a research on Frobel

This site has been very helpful for me as a student preparing for a career in education. I have used it as a reference for a paper I am writing on Froebel as one of the most important pioneers in educational theory.

Hi, I am a froebel student from the Froebel Education Center in Mississiuga, Ontario, Canada. I had no IDEA there were this many Froebels around the world.

Looking for basic titles on life and work of F. Froebel. (Just bought Inventing Kindergarten) Thanks for the site!

Great to hear about the forthcoming exhibition. I am head of Balham Nursery School in South London - an inner city state [public?] school. our work today is still strongly influenced by the Froebelian idea of nature and unity ie our Garden is fundamental to all areas of the curriculum. We are quite close to Froebel College at Roehampton Institute - home of some examples of Froebel's Gifts and Occupations and Froebel Research Committee. Would be good to have more info about Froebel's influence on nursery education today - Montessori seems to be the best known pioneer!

I am a teacher at PFH (Pestalozzi-Fröbel-Haus in Berlin) You may see a picture of the buliding in my homepage http://home.pages.de/~ralfD

I heard an interview on NPR radio about the book Inventing Kindergarten. I noticed many similarites to Steiner or Waldorf education. I wondered why I had not read or heard about Froebel in my training in education. Then recently I learned my uncle worked for Frank Lloyd Wright. That led to reading about Wright. Just this past Thur. evening I ws skimming a book about Wright at a college art prof's home. Again, mention of Froebel. No one in the group present knoew anything of Froebel's background. Thus, I decided to search the web. Thanks for all the great information. Now I wonder what influence he had on Rudolf Steiner's life.

Cool Page!
I am interested in the Froebel concept of education. I am now a grandmother had I known more when my son was small, I would have investigated more at that time. What I could not offer my son, I would like to offer my grandson! (I heard of Froebel through a special on A&E about F.L. Wright.)
