Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
-William James
-William James
Dorothy had unflinching and enthusiastic commitment to the cause of early education. In particular, she was best known for her interest in the history of early care and education and for her support for the Convention on the Rights of the Child. At the 2008 conference of the International Froebel Society, she was presented with an award by their president, who said, “Froebel is known as the Father of the Kindergarten and Dorothy is known as the Mother of the History of Early Childhood Education.”
Dorothy was a frequent contributor to and delightful and generous supporter of Exchange. We invite you to view her Exchange article, "Sisterhood and Sentimentality — America's Earliest Preschool Centers."
This exceptional book demonstrates how centers can face real-world challenges and make quality care a reality. Special selections authored by recognized child care experts enhance this collection of updated articles written by Jim Greenman for Child Care Information Exchange. Readers will be empowered by new ideas on how to make child care programs work for children, families, and staff.View and Purchase

Dorothy,
Introduced me to early childhood education at San Diego. She helped me to apply and get a job as the early childhood coordinator at the campus parent participation center. I was allowed to supervise her students at the childcare center. Her love of and belief in the benefits of early childhood education was so strong you had to become an advocate. She changed my life forever. She will be missed by so many of us.

Thank you so much for putting in this information about Dorothy who was my mentor in doing research on the history of early childhood education. I am sharing this web site with my students and discussing her in class.
With appreciation for your work that is informative and inspiring.

A good teacher needs to try to be all seeing, should look at the children's interest.

A great early childhood hero! I am so proud and grateful that she co-authored a chapter in my edited volume: "Perspectives on gender in Early Childhood," published by Redleaf Press (2010).
