These exercises are vital for all children

It’s been interesting to observe the work that's done professionally in Hreyfiland. Krisztina places great emphasis on basic skills and fundamentals that each child needs to have to make progress in terms of motor skills development. The exercises practiced there are very varied and purposeful, meaning they are selected carefully for a specific time and amount to meet a specific end.

It is especially encouraging to see teachers participate as actively as Krisztina does while doing the exercises. She stimulates the senses of the children by connecting them to music and playing games with them. But more importantly, she always cheers them on during the process.

These exercises are vital for all children, particularly for children with special needs. Studies have shown that early intervention can be effective for all children and not just the ones who are disabled in some way. In recent years, the Sports Association of the Disabled has presented a related project concerned with children's motor development and early intervention in childhood. The project has been introduced in kindergartens and an important collaboration has taken place with Hreyfiland for this project.

I want to express my gratitude for this great collaboration and send many congratulations to Krisztina on the wonderful work she does.
