Barsabeh Kindergarten and School

اولین کودکستان فارسی زبان ایران و تهران که البته در خال حاضر وجود خارجی ندارد و فقط تابلویی برای اطلاع رسانی ازش بیادگار مونده

Walking around the old street in southern Tehran, I came across this picture on the wall of the building. Shamelessly I did not know what it was all about. Only to take picture to look up later. Some days later (today!) only to find out Mdm BersabehHovsepian has established the first kindergarten in Tehran in 1931. Concept behind this was to provide place for a working mother to purse child care and career at the same time. Some websites cited around 400 children were enrolled at its peak. She also established women organizations in 1968 with likeminded persons. It is what I love about randomly walking in town and finding such historical street. I love preservation of such important personal and honor her work.
