She was the godmother of daycare centres in Canada
Trained in Boston because early childhood education was unavailable
at home, she helped launch the first federally funded daycare
centre and never looked back
By Noreen SHANAHAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S12
Toronto -- Margaret
KIDD was one of the earliest teachers in
Early Childhood Education in Canada. Her life's work began during
the Second World War when she helped establish the first federally
funded daycare. It was a time of desperate need, when mothers
tied their young to fence posts and set off for their jobs at
munitions plants.
Ms. KIDD later taught in early childhood education at Ontario
community colleges, and served as a childcare consultant in India,
Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia and the Philippines.
The youngest of six children born to a British immigrant family
who settled in Toronto during the final days of the First World
War, she was a bright and ambitious child. Years later, she always
felt grateful to her elder siblings; they quit school early and
went to work, but insisted she continue on with her studies.
In 1939, she was in the first graduating class at the University
of Toronto's new sociology department. Strongly influenced by
Tommy Douglas and the Canadian Commonwealth Federation, she hooked
up with other idealistic students who became activists fighting
for the creation of social institutions such as medicare and
daycare.
At that time in Canada, there were no training programs for childcare
workers. Undeterred, Ms.
KIDD headed down to Boston's Tufts University
where a rudimentary course was offered, focusing mainly on healthy
nutrition and probably directed more toward mothers than to working
professionals. As a result, she became an advocate of healthy
eating long before it was fashionable.
In 1938, while in Winnipeg at the first national conference of
Canadian
University
Students, she met J. Roby
KIDD. He was the
first Canadian to earn a doctorate in adult education. Early
in their relationship, the couple made a deliberate decision,
based on a shared vision and commitment, which helped shape Canada's
social and political landscape. Doctor
KIDD set up the institutional
infrastructure for adult education, basically popularizing the
idea of lifelong learning. Ms.
KIDD, meanwhile, played a key
role in bringing the institution of quality daycare to thousands
of Canadian families.
They were married in 1941, and while Mr.
KIDD quickly moved ahead
with his goals, she helped launch a nursery in Montreal that
became the first daycare centre to be funded by Ottawa. Through
her experience there she resolved to make the notion of daycare
centres grow and flourish.
By that time the war was raging and daycare as we know it today
simply did not exist. Huge numbers of women entered the work
force and took up war work of all descriptions, filling a labour
gap caused by so many men having joined the armed forces and
being sent overseas. Although it sounds outrageous, some war-time
working mothers actually did tether their children to the fence
in the front yard, leaving their neighbours to check on them
during the day. At the time, it was accepted that they had little
choice. After all, there was a war on.
According to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation archives, some
working mothers also left their children in orphanages during
the war, usually on a temporary basis. Others were lucky if they
found neighbours or relatives to care for their children. The
federal government soon considered war-time nurseries an essential
war-time service, charging eligible women 35 cents a day.
By the time 1943 came around, the couple was living in Ottawa,
where Doctor
KIDD took a position as director of the Canadian Association
for the Study of Adult Education. In July, their son, Bruce,
was born. The eldest of what would become an eventual brood of
five children, he grew up to be an Olympic athlete. His brother,
Ross, followed a couple of years later. In 1946, they moved back
to Toronto where Alice, David and Dorothy were born.
Ms. KIDD insisted that her children push themselves just a little
bit harder physically. She trained her youngest child, Dorothy,
to walk further and further distances along Queen Street. If
she heard one of the others whine for a streetcar ticket she'd
say: "If your little sister can walk that far, so can you."
Bruce KIDD remembers the early days of his mother's mission,
back in the mid-forties when she toddled him off to St. Aiden's
Church in Toronto's east end - not to pray, but to play. He often
sought out his friend John Sewell, perhaps over by the building
blocks. (Mr. Sewell became Toronto's mayor a few decades later.)
Her energy for political activity also grew during these years.
Her daughter, Dorothy
KIDD, got her political start as a six-year-old
on her neighbour's doorstep, listening to her mother eloquently
pitch for local Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation candidates.
"I'm not sure when the penny dropped for her to make a career
out of engaging developmental opportunities for children at the
earliest possible age, and fighting public institutions to do
that," Bruce
KIDD said. "It became the theme of her life from
the late 1930s until she stopped actively working."
In 1961, the family moved to Ottawa where Doctor
KIDD took a job
as director of the Canadian Association for the Study of Adult
Education and Ms.
KIDD dove into child-development issues, including
setting up nursery schools. Passionate for political discussion
at this time, she also formed a women's group that met regularly
to discuss the Vietnam War. Dorothy
KIDD remembers a film about
the Mekong Delta in Vietnam at one meeting, and discussing the
impact of the war on Vietnamese women and children.
The once-radical notions of universal daycare and adult education
were closer to becoming realized, as the couple spread their
implacable vision for social reform onto the popular psyche.
In many ways, Ms.
KIDD practised her child-focused philosophy
on her own children. Bruce
KIDD still remembers the one and only
time he ever heard his mother swear. It was on the phone with
his high-school principal, who suggested that Bruce stay in school
rather than travel with the Olympic team. Ms.
KIDD told this
man that the competition was an important experience for Bruce
that he wanted to go and would learn a great deal from it. Plus,
she said, he'd ace his spring exams. She was right.
Ms. KIDD's work as an international childcare consultant began
in 1965, when the family lived in Jaipur, India. Her husband
was hired to work in adult education at the University of Rajasthan.
When they returned to Toronto a year later, Ms.
KIDD decided
to pursue her masters degree in sociology, graduating from the
University of Toronto in 1970. She became an early childhood
education instructor, first at Centennial College and later at
Seneca College, both in Toronto. She also insisted that the quest
for new professionalism didn't wipe out the years of unpaid childcare
work women had been doing.
At Seneca College, Ms.
KIDD helped launch a project called the
MILE (Mobile Intensive Learning Experience) where a group
of students from various disciplines climbed aboard buses and
travelled across the country. Instead of learning only from books,
they met the real-life key players behind an issue. For instance,
while studying Canadian labour, they went down into the mines
or walked the picket lines and interviewed people who were making
do without wages. If they were studying early childhood education,
they visited daycare centres to witness how different communities
applied their understanding of child and community development.
"I was so proud to see her direct a fleet of students and buses
and to see how the students were transformed by this," said Bruce
KIDD, who joined her on a MILE project on sport and recreation
policy. "She gave them a visceral, intellectually critical sense
of this country and realized that there was more to Canada than
just Toronto."
In 1977, Ms.
KIDD became an inspector with the Ontario government's
Community and Social Services Ministry, Children's Services Division.
Throughout her tenure, she remained hopeful at the same time
as being wise to the system's imperfections. But rather than
close down troubled centres, she set her sites on problem-solving
with them. Waiting-list numbers convinced her that fewer daycare
centres was not the answer.
She once demonstrated for daycare reform at Toronto's City Hall.
While her students gathered with their freshly crayoned picket
signs, many of whom had their own toddlers underfoot and joining
in with the chants, Ms.
KIDD unpacked sandwiches and doled out
juices. "She was like a supermom," Dorothy
KIDD said. "She was
teaching the next generation to look after kids while at the
same time mothering them."
Ms. KIDD began working as an instructor in Ryerson University's
Early Childhood Education program in 1980, as well as running
the school's on-site daycare and children's learning centre.
In 1982, her husband died suddenly of a heart attack. At that
point, he was an educator and founder of the adult education
department at the Ontario Institute for Education, as well as
a professor of comparative studies in Adult Education.
In 1986, Ms.
KIDD was invited to India by a group of women construction
workers keen on establishing a daycare for their children. Upon
her retirement in 1987, she returned to India, this time with
a small delegation of Canadian women that included Julie Mathien,
current director of Early Learning and Child Development for
the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services. "Because
[Ms. KIDD] had lived there, we had a view of India we never would
have had otherwise," Ms. Mathien said.
Margaret KIDD was born Margaret Edith
EASTO on May 25, 1918,
in Toronto. She died of Alzheimer's disease on March 4, 2008,
in Toronto. She was 89. Predeceased by her husband, J. Roby
KIDD,
she is survived by her children: Bruce, Ross, Alice, David and
Dorothy. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jill
KIDDER
(born Jocelyn Mary
WILSON.)
She died on June 1 at the Royal Inland
Hospital in Kamloops a few days after having suffered a stroke.

bravely, quickly and with minimal fuss.
Jill was born in 1923 in Prince George, British Columbia. She
served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War 2, and
went to Queen's University, where she met her husband Kendall.
With Kendall, she spent her life all over Canada -- from the
Northwest Territories to British Columbia to Quebec to Labrador.
For the last twenty-five years, she had been living in her much-beloved
Dry Belt in Ashcroft, pruning her Russian Olives, moving rocks,
and working in the Thrift Shop.
She was pre-deceased by her husband Kendall. She is survived
by her sister Barbara
SCOTT and Tony
SCOTT, by her brother Peter
WILSON and Ruth
WILSON; by her children John, Margie, Annie,
Michael and Peter; by her grandchildren Janet, Maggie, Orion,

her children, Sara and Hugh; by her great good friend Mary Parson
and her son Graham; and by her four great-grandchildren, Maisie,
Charlie, Oliver and Ava. She is also survived by many much-loved
nieces and nephews.
Jill shone the brightest in her life as a grandmother -- if grandmothers
ran the world, she said, we would do more of the obviously right
things. So if people want to do something to remember her, they
should make a donation to "Grandmothers for Grandmothers" www.grandmotherscampaign.org/
or mail a donation, clearly marked "Grandmothers" but payable
