Therese Baum Wolff, a former Memphis resident and an advocate of early childhood education, died Nov. 14 in West Hartford, Conn. She was 92. In 1947, Mrs. Wolff established in her home one of the first preschool education programs for 3- and 4-year-olds in the city. That school grew into the Highland Pre-School. Her son, Joseph H. Baum of Arlington, Va., said the Highland school became a cooperative run by parents and was taken over by Memphis State University in 1959 and included a preschool training program. Today the program is known as the Barbara K. Lipman Early Childhood School and Research Institute at the University of Memphis. "She certainly felt very strongly that children at an early age would benefit from schooling," Baum said of his mother. "She loved kids." In the 1950s and '60s Mrs. Wolff was a child welfare worker for the state, and helped many families adopt children, her son said. She was the first president of the Memphis Social Workers Club. Her love of children and learning continued all her life, her son said. Mrs. Wolff left college when she married Herbert Baum in 1930, but she returned years later and graduated from Memphis State with a degree in psychology at age 47. Mrs. Wolff, the widow of Charles Wolff, is also survived by a daughter, Maxine B. Greenberg of South Windsor, Conn., three grandchildren and a great-grandson. Graveside services will be Sunday at Temple Israel Cemetery at 1 p.m. Canale Funeral Directors has charge. (Author Thomas Jordan.
