Responsibility for Children under the Age of Three Years Recommendations of the German-Speaking Association for Infant Mental Health (GAIMH) for the care and teaching of infants and toddlers in daycare centers Contents

These recommendations have been approved and published by the board of GAIMH. The basis for these recommendations are the result of work done in April 2008 during an intensive day-long session involving invited experts and members of GAIMH internal working groups. This session involved intensive interdisciplinary discussions of findings and experience from the research and practice of invitees from GAIMH’s member countries -Germany, Austria, and Switzerland -based on international studies on the development of infants and toddlers.
