This module is led by Hungarian faculty from the Pikler® House in Budapest, Szilvia Papp and Jutka Kelemen.
Dates: Monday 13 – Friday 17 July, 2026
This five-day course will take place at Taitamariki Hall – Auburn Reserve, 8 Auburn St, Takapuna, Auckland.
This fee is in AUD and is only for the module instruction; we cannot provide participant’s accommodations, meals or airfares.
This basic-level module is designed for those who would like to acquire knowledge, and be informed by pedagogues who work at the Pikler® Institute, where Dr. Emmi Pikler worked. Participants will deepen their understanding about early childhood education through studying our most important pedagogical principles, learning about everyday experiences with children, and also through hearing about the results of research carried out by the Pikler® Institute. The topics will be elaborated by presenting core materials of the Institute. The results of research and practical experience, the opportunity to watch and analyse photos and video footage, accounts of personal practice and discussion of the questions raised by participants will all be included.
The following topics will be addressed during the module:
The beginning of infant’s play activity
Development of thinking and playing
The infant’s attention during play
Autonomous activity in the parent-child group
Organising the conditions of free play and movement in the childcare centre
How the caregiver supports children’s play
A reminder that we plan to continue to offer Pikler training every two years. The process requires us to rotate the modules offered, therefore, Play will not be offered again within the next 5 years. The advanced-level modules are dependent on enrolments, so their future availability will depend on the number of eligible participants.
