Mongolian Mobile Kindergartens

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Albert Einstein

Jane Lurie found this story, with great photos, of mobile classrooms (gers) in Mongolia:

"The concept is an ingenious one.  Mongolian nomadic herder families move around a lot and, because of this, their kindergarten-aged kids miss the chance to go to a formal kindergarten school.  The solution: provide a kindergarten school that was mobile and used a structure that has been proven effective against the unpredictable weather in the steppe.  The ger was the best answer."
