La Trottinette, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, was inspired by the Maison Verte concept created by Françoise Dolto in Paris in 1979.
Françoise Dolto, a paediatrician and psychoanalyst, led to the recognition of children as individuals in their own right.
Her concept has travelled through time and space, and now exists in every canton of French-speaking Switzerland and in many European and Latin American countries.
La Trottinette was born in 1996 and the association was created in February 1998.
