Introduction:
The ten principles originated from the work of two pioneers in infant-toddler care and education; Emmi Pickler and Magda Gerber. Â Pickler was a Hungarian pediatrician and researcher who got started in group care in 1946 following World War II creating an orphanage for children under the age of three. Â Known as the Pikler Institute today, the program is still running under the direction of Dr. Pikler’s daughter, Anna Tardos. Â
Magda brought what she knew from the United States in 1956 and eventually started a program called Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE). Â Although Pikler’s approach and Gerber’s philosophy are not identical, they are in tune with each other.Â
