Welcome to the Homepage of Beller Research and Training in Early Childhood Education

We have been selling teaching materials and holding courses for daycare, nursery, pre-school, and kindergarten teachers for over 20 years.

Bringing together pedagogical practice and research is a keystone of our work, and it is one of our primary aims to support exchange between educators and scholars. Our products and courses draw on years of research and practical experience and are regularly revised and updated.

Our Research Projects

Currently, our research focuses on two main fields:

The first phase of the project Modification and Expansion of the Method of Observation of Kuno Beller’s Developmental Chart was to update the method of observation and expand it to include the tenth year of life. This first phase has been completed. While it was primarily concerned with the analysis of current literature and research findings, the second phase will evaluate the revised method on the basis of empirical research.

Our second area of concentration lies in exploring how language development can be stimulated in everyday pedagogical practice and in evaluating the short-term and long-term effects of the use of our model for fostering Language Development in Everyday Pedagogical Practice (ESIA – Nursery Teacher Training for Interactive Language Stimulation)..
