Johann Heinrich (Henri) Pestalozzi, born in Zürich in 1746, was a visionary educationalist, who devoted his life’s work – twenty years of it in Yverdon – to giving poor and underprivileged children from around Europe the chance to have a decent education and so to realize life opportunities otherwise denied them.
Pestalozzi married at 23, and first lived with his wife Anna Schulthess in Birr (Canton Aargau), where they tried to organize help for local abandoned children and from where Pestalozzi wrote books and newspaper articles to bring the problem of children in poverty to wider attention.
Pestalozzi took in up to 150 boys aged 7 to 15 who would otherwise have been begging on the streets, fed and clothed them, and organized a flexible school curriculum suited to each child’s abilities, covering mathematics, languages, music, gymnastics, biology, astronomy and more, thus gaining worldwide attention from social scientists of the day.

Pestalozzi's pedagogical doctrines stressed that instructions should proceed from the familiar to the new, incorporate the performance of concrete arts and the experience of actual emotional responses, and be paced to follow the gradual unfolding of the child's development.
Pestalozzi's curriculum, which was modelled after Jean-Jacques Rousseau's plan in Émile, emphasized group rather than individual recitation and focussed on such participatory activities as drawing, writing, singing, physical exercise, model making, collecting, map making, and field trips.
Pestalozzi was influenced by the political conditions of his country and by the educational ideas of Rousseau; as a young man he abandoned the study of theology to go “back to Nature.” In 1769 he took up agriculture on neglected land near the River Aare—the Neuhof.

Pestalozzi employed the following principles in teaching (viewed as correct even today): (1) begin with the concrete object before introducing abstract concepts; (2) begin with the immediate environment before dealing with what is distant and remote; (3) begin with easy exercises before introducing complex ones; and (4) always proceed gradually, cumulatively, and slowly.

Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was a Swiss educational theorist and reformer who was known for his kindness, trust, and patience, even among difficult and unteachable children.
His emphasis on and faith in the innate moral and spiritual abilities of children resonated strongly with the New England Transcendentalists, who also had great concern for self-culture and expected pupils to assume responsibility for their ethical as well as intellectual growth.
Transcendentalists such as Amos Bronson Alcott and Elizabeth Palmer Peabody readily adopted Pestalozzi's ideas, which found application not only in New England at Alcott's experimental schools but also in England at Alcott House, established by James Pierrepont Greaves in 1838.
