The best for our little ones: promote elementary education now!

Let's give our youngest children the best possible opportunities. Support the largest university centre for early childhood education with a "puzzle piece". For more excellent research and practice dedicated entirely to our youngest children.

A piece of the puzzle for the future

Almost 20,000 childcare facilities are supported by PEP, the International Centre for Professionalisation in Early Childhood Education. PEP trains early childhood educators, develops educational materials, advises and supports nurseries, kindergartens and decision-makers, and conducts comprehensive research projects.

PEP is the "lobby for the little ones". And because there is still much to be done to create the best conditions for our children, it needs your support.
