new life in a film looking at her lasting influence on practice. By Dr Jacqui Cousins, Anita M Hughes and Dorothy Y Selleck
Creator of the Treasure Basket, heuristic play and the key person approach, Elinor Goldschmied was one of the most significant pioneers in the world of early childcare in the 20th century. Now a new film from the The Froebel Trust, revisits her work, explores its continuing relevance and shows how one London nursery school is developing her ideas.
Called Discovered Treasure, the documentary and training film is the culmination of the Elinor Goldschmied Froebel Archive Project, dedicated to recording and celebrating her work.
Before she died in 2009, Elinor bequeathed her films to the Froebel Archive collection. Professor Tina Bruce then secured funding from The Froebel Trust to set up the project and collate Elinor's published work, handwritten notes and films.
