Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person
Emilie Louise Michaelis (1834–1904)[1] was German-born pioneer of the kindergarten system in England, and a translator, editor, and promoter of Froebel's writings.[2] In 1875, she started one of the first English kindergartens in Croydon, London, and later a training college for teachers, which became Froebel College.[3] She was described as the 'chief exponent of Froebelianism in England'[4] and coined the phrase 'nursery school' in translation from Froebel.[5]
Life
Emilie Michaelis was born in Thuringia, Kingdom of Prussia, and was a pupil of Bertha von Marenholtz-Bülow, who had herself been a student of Friedrich Fröbel.[2]
Michaelis travelled to England in the 1870s, intending to promote the principles of kindergarten education.[2] In 1875, she was a founding member of the Froebel Society of London, on a committee which included Emily Shirreff, Maria Georgina Grey, Frances Buss, Beata Doreck, and Adelaide Manning.[6] She was president of the Society 1897–1900.[7]
In 1891, Michaelis started a kindergarten and training college for kindergarten teachers in Notting Hill, which became the Froebel Educational Institute in West Kensington.[2] The Froebel Educational Institute, on Talgarth Road, West Kensington, officially opened on 20 September 1894.[8] Emilie Michaelis was its first principal, retiring in 1901.[2] She was replaced as Principal by Esther Lawrence.[9] Following Michaelis's retirement, she continued to actively promote the values of Froebelian education, lecturing and examining widely.[4]
Emilie Michaelis died on 30 December 1904.[10]
