1960
Scope and Content Note
General shots..... Reshovsky's son, Marc, attended and this was an excellent example of a parent participation nursery school...
with paid top teacher..... but parents were invited to bring their talents and share. Also, this series of three envelopes....are
example of how photography can be used to solve a problem and at the same time make money for the photographer. One year after
son started.....parents were told nursery school would have to close due to lack of funds and lack of enrollment....also because
senior citizens in nursery school who controlled Board did not see why there should be a nursery school..... nursery school
board voted to fund raise but Mrs. Reshovsky said she'd like to try P.R., that the reason enrollment had dropped was because
the community did not know specific good things that were happening at the nursery school and she would try planting information
in local papers, etc. (She was advised by a friend at
The Times who worked for the Women's Section...forget it... we don't publish hardly anything about nursery schools and name of school
is too long. A year later, Women's Section devoted whole front page to story on Gizmaze Experimental Playhouse designed and
build for parents.) She got not only local coverage but national as well. Enrollment jumped so much they had to hire new teachers.....
and senior citizens also saw worth of school. (She won an the highest award the center could give and was credited for saving
the school.....which still exists.)

agreed this was important..... and demonstration not only benefited kids and parents but got school publicity because Reshovskys
sold it to

into hospital and lighten them up (as husband EER did in Los Angeles). Was told by publicity man at Sun City, “I'll try but
they probably won't want to.” Whaddya know? They did... and this established
permanent connection between Sun City retired folk, who really wanted to do good, and Gompers Memorial Hospital.... They took this
