Susan Sutherland Isaacs

Susan Sutherland Isaacs was a pioneering British psychologist and educator known for her work in early childhood development and education. She emphasized the importance of understanding how young children think and learn, advocating for play-based and child-centered learning approaches. Isaacs believed that children should be supported to develop their natural curiosity and problem-solving skills through engaging activities rather than rigid instruction. Her ideas helped shape modern early childhood education, encouraging environments where children can explore, experiment, and grow intellectually and emotionally in a supportive context.
