Empower children with our support!
Do you value professional development courses with experienced instructors, a respectful and collaborative environment, a competency- and participant-oriented approach, small learning groups, collegial exchange, and a close integration of theory and practice based on current theoretical findings? We redesigned the content of our part-time professional development program for early childhood educators (under 3 years old) in 2025. It's perfect for you if you already work in a nursery, daycare center, or in childminding with children aged 0 to 3 and want to expand and deepen your skills. Through practical application and peer exchange, you will consciously examine your pedagogical practices to best support children in their individual learning and development processes from the very beginning.
