PEKiP course in Betzdorf

PEKiP (Prague Parent-Child Program) is a course designed for babies in their first year of life, accompanied by parents or grandparents. Developed in the 1960s by Dr Koch in Prague, the programme focuses on early development through play and movement.

Weekly 90-minute sessions take place in small groups under the guidance of a certified instructor. Babies are allowed to play without clothing in a warm and safe environment, fostering activity and comfort. The sessions use age-appropriate stimuli to support physical, mental, linguistic and social skills during this important stage.
