Ellis is excited to introduce Pikler Triangles into our infant classrooms!

Designed by pediatrician Dr. Emmi Pikler, Pikler triangles are low wooden climbing structures that support self-paced infant development from infancy through toddlerhood.

By allowing children to roll, pull up, and climb at their own speed, the structure enhances gross and fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and cognitive problem-solving. Ultimately, because interaction is entirely self-directed, it offers a safe environment for infants to engage in risky play, building confidence and autonomy.
