Advanced training for Child'Space group guides
A training program for practitioners who want to become group specialists, to broaden and deepen their professional knowledge and experience.
Ortal's sound knowledge and experience led her to establish, together with her colleague Hila-Or Gofer, an advanced training program for guides of parent-baby groups and developmental movement classes at kindergartens. Chava Shelhav, founder and international director of the Child'Space Method, gave her blessing to this program, which is taught successfully in The Netherlands and Israel.
