About
The mission of PA Step by Step is to support the development of democratic relations in the society by protecting, respecting and advocating for the rights and interests of children and families. PA Step by Step has founded the Open Academy Step by Step to continue this mission. The PA Step by Step activities are aimed at supporting and implementing projects and programs that encourage a more active participation of parents in the educational process and institutions; communication between children and adults (parents and teachers); multiculturalism; upbringing for peace; ecology; disease and drug prevention; and other issues relating to improving the quality of living of children and families. PA Step by Step increases public awareness and advocates for the rights and interests of children, as well as providing counseling to parents on their rights and interests. The basic activity of the Open Academy Step by Step is retraining and professional improvement of adults, teachers, other professionals, and parents who apply programs focused on children in nurseries, kindergartens and elementary schools. The Parent's Association supplements its mission to promote child-centered education methods through publishing, which is a self-sustainable activity (translations, books and magazines)
OSI Affiliation

Since the beginning of 2000 the Ministry of Education has acknowledged the Step by Step program as an official alternative method of the official curiculum known as the model "Step by Step".
