Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Peter Almond, the son of childcare and family advocate Dorothea Almond, discusses his admiration for his mother’s work and ruminates on her motivations for leaving Germany in the 1930s to study at the New School of the Columbia Teachers College. He focuses on the collaborative work of Dorothea Almond, Phyllis Craig, and others and describes how it laid the foundation for the WorkLife Office at Stanford. Almond also speaks about the rationale behind the Leifer Report, his mother’s work in childcare research, planning for the Children’s Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC), and the university’s initial hesitancy about providing childcare services.
