Structure of the Training to Become a PEKiP Group Leader

The training to become a PEKiP group leader is structured in two main parts:

Part 1: PEKiP Basic Course

• Duration: 100 units of in-person sessions spread over approximately 9 months, with an additional 50 hours of self-study.
• Course Format: The course takes place in five weekend blocks. Typically, these sessions are held:
  • Friday: 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM
  • Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
  • Sunday: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• Content: In this part of the training, participants learn the theoretical, methodological, and didactic foundations of the PEKiP (Prague Parent-Child Program). They combine their professional social pedagogy knowledge with the skills necessary to lead a PEKiP group.

Key Topics:

• PEKiP® play and movement activities in the first year of life
• Developmental psychology basics in the first year of life
• Pedagogical practices in a parent-child group
• Promoting learning processes for both adults and children in a group setting

Part 2: PEKiP Practical Reflection

• Duration: 25 units over approximately 9 months.
• Format: Participants independently lead their first PEKiP groups, with ongoing support from a PEKiP trainer. Small group sessions (5 meetings) provide the chance for reflection and guidance.

Outcome: The PEKiP® Certificate 

After completing both parts of the training, participants will receive the PEKiP certificate, confirming their qualification as a PEKiP group leader.

This structure allows for both theoretical learning and practical application, with a strong emphasis on reflection and professional growth.
