“In the face of insurmountable obstacles generated by poverty in low democracy states this is a book that provides hope through a remarkable insight into how the Open Society contributed to global early childhood education (ECE). Over a period of three decades from the 1990s it follows the work of the Step by Step programme. The authors have captured how systemic support for ECE can help ameliorate inequality for young children.
In late 2019, Jan Peeters was stirred by news of the decision by the Open Society Foundations to wind down its work in early childhood. Seeking to preserve the legacy of the Step by Step Program, he joined forces with Sarah Klaus, the then director of Open Society’s Early Childhood Program. Together, they enlisted Tatjana Vonta, a seasoned Step by Step expert and former director of Step by Step in Slovenia.
This open access book describes the extraordinary journey of early childhood education pioneers across Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe (CEE) and Eurasia during the pivotal democratic transitions of the 1990s.

New scoring method for child development
How do you measure children's development in a good, globally uniform way? Until recently, only height and weight were determined somewhat equally everywhere. There was no clear scoring method for the general development of children.
