The School of Infancy

The "School of Infancy" is a concept by John Amos Comenius, a 17th-century Czech educational reformer. It refers to the earliest stage of childhood education, from birth up to six years old, primarily within the family setting. Comenius believed this period was crucial for developing basic physical faculties and imagination. He envisioned a structured approach where children would learn through sensory experiences and engaging methods, laying the foundation for future learning. This work is part of his broader philosophy of "pansophia," or universal wisdom, aiming for comprehensive education for all humanity.123
