“Being together with the child during the care situation is full of happenings – when all needs are met with attention and respect, when the baby is not just regarded as an object that has to be cleaned and fed, but as a living human being who has an influence on what is happening, and who takes part in building up a relationship as one of the partners.”
— Anna Tardos

“Freedom of movement not only results in outstanding gross motor development, but also a strong sense of competence within each baby who finds out that he can learn on his own and doesn’t need an adult. Emotional security and self-confidence are the result.
