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 followers developed various sayings from this: from the known to the unknown, from the simple to the complex, from the concrete to the abstract.
That said though, Pestalozzi made a significant contribution to the establishment of the school as a central educational force (in contrast to Rousseau's emphasis on the tutor).

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.

Their love kindled a flame that Pestalozzi was to pass on in later years as a housefather and teacher, a love which was as important to his success with children as his methods themselves.
Before long, the Pestalozzis had a son of their own, and little Jaqueli helped prove--or disprove--many of his young father’s germinating ideas.  But his son was not the only material to hand for his investigations.
Pestalozzi was then allowed to take up a position at the Burgdorf school (1799-1804), but from the start the suspicious town authorities restricted his scope for experiment.

Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi has for decades been acknowledged as the founder of pedagogy and as propagandist of a general education for all people.
The memorial year 1996 (his 250th birthday) has put the "myth" Pestalozzi and Pestalozzi's reception into the middle of a scientific discussion.

Pestalozzi was deemed the ideal person to oversee the new Swiss school system and he became the first national trainer of teachers and his 'method' became famous throughout Europe.
It is ironical that his approach should become known as a 'method' when by the end of his life, Pestalozzi had moved away from the concept of one valid theory of education.
Perhaps the final irony though, is that despite his beliefs, Pestalozzi made a significant contribution to the establishment of the school as a central educational force.
