What a lovely piece!! To be valued as Professionals we must be the first to value the work we do with children. If society values children and their development they should also value our work with them and treat us as Professionals. #ecechatie

What a great quote.

Our President Dr. Mary Moloney writes for MECPI on why you should never say that you are ‘just a childcare worker’...

Thank you Mary Moloney we forget how powerful we can be in support of children’s learning, development and joyfulness!

@celinegovern MECPI OMEP Ireland National Childhood Network Faculty of Education, Mary Immaculate College. ACP Ireland I hope you did read it @celinegovern and that it didn't make you angry. The intention is to highlight the importance of working with young children and to inspire our early years professionals to take pride in what they do #ecechatie
