As an independent, extra-university, and nonprofit institute, pädquis has been making a significant contribution to improving educational quality in early childhood education facilities such as daycare centers and crèches for over 20 years. Our goal is to strengthen the institutions and their professionals while simultaneously promoting equal opportunities and access to education for all children.
With our work in the three areas of impact - research, monitoring, and further education - we are partners to federal and state ministries, municipalities, as well as sponsors, management, and professionals, to generate data-based management knowledge through on-site surveys, establish structures for an educational monitoring system in the early childhood education sector, and further develop the quality of pedagogical practice (process quality) with the help of training formats.
