Aldrich Memorial Nursery School, Inc.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The beginning of Aldrich Memorial Nursery School can be traced to the early 1940's when interested Rochester women formed a group to direct and perpetuate the informal nursery school program then in progress. In 1944 the Mayo Foundation, in extending its public health research activities, formed the Rochester Child Health Institute. Dr. H.F. Helmholz, then head of Mayo Clinic's Section of Pediatrics, selected Dr. C. A. Aldrich to carry out this ambitious study of the child in a community. Dr. Aldrich believed a nursery school to be an essential part of the community. Accordingly, in 1944, he and the women's group joined forces to found the Demonstration Nursery School, which was operated by the Board of Directors under the professional supervision and direction of the Child Health Project staff. This small school enlarged into the Rochester Demonstration Nursery School with sessions held in each neighborhood of the city.
