What We Do

The IFS

  • provides an international forum for the development of the principles of educational theory and practice associated with the child-centred philosophy of Friedrich Froebel
  • establishes opportunities internationally for research, discussion and debate on early childhood education
  • studies, promotes and develops Froebelian theory and practice in early childhood education worldwide
  • promotes university-accredited certificates and diplomas in professional practice in early years education and related topics
  • monitors and evaluates Froebelian educational activity internationally

We do not currently offer international recognition and accreditation for Froebelian educational practice, are working on it.
