PEKiP Concept

The PEKiP Concept:
The Prague Parent-Child Program, widely known as PEKiP^®, was developed by Prof. Dr. Christa Ruppelt and Prof. Dr. Hans Ruppelt in 1973. It is a group program for parents and their babies during the first year of life.

Foundations:
PEKiP is based on targeted play and movement activities to be used during infancy, inspired by the research of Prague psychologist Dr. Jaroslav Koch at the Institute for Mother and Child in Prague - hence the city name “Prague” in the program’s title.

Since its beginnings in the 1970s, PEKiP has become increasingly popular and is now loved and trusted by parents and children in German speaking countries of Europe, reaching nearly 60,000 families each weak.
