Loïs Bates
Best known for practical books on kindergarten teaching, play, and character lessons, this late-19th-century writer focused on helping adults guide children through activity, story, and everyday habits. Her surviving works still feel rooted in the idea that young children learn best by doing.

About the author
Loïs Bates was an education writer whose books centered on kindergarten teaching and early childhood activity. Available library and public-domain records confirm titles including Kindergarten Guide (published by Longmans, Green in 1897 and 1898), Games Without Music for Children, and Story Lessons on Character-Building (Morals) and Manners.
Her work suggests a strong interest in learning through play, movement, and guided storytelling. Kindergarten Guide was issued with extensive illustrations, while Games Without Music for Children collected activities for children, and Story Lessons on Character-Building used short lessons to teach manners and moral habits.
Very little reliable biographical detail about her life was easy to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember her through the books themselves: practical, classroom-minded works from the turn of the 20th century that reflect the spread of kindergarten ideas in the English-speaking world.
