results of motor tests were gathered. An information meeting for
parents and educators was arranged 1e2 weeks after the baseline
measurements in each institution. The second series of testing was
done in May and June 2007, so that half a kindergarten year was
covered. Testing in the 11 control kindergartens was performed
from August to October 2007 and from April to May 2008; no
intervention was conducted in these kindergartens. The mean
time-span was 5 months for the intervention group (IG) and 6
months for the control group (CG).
