Reinstating the internationally accepted term Early Childhood Education and Care is so important. One recent publication on ECEC in Ireland used Early Years Care, Early Years Education, EY and SAC Care. This is too confusing. #ECEC is universally understood. #ECECnotELC

I need 7 more survey respondents to reach 200....if you have a couple of minutes to complete this STEAM in ECEC survey I'd be extremely grateful! #research #STEAM #ECEC #PHD

Letter sent by PEMI today to Roderic O’Gorman TD requesting a meeting to discuss reinstating #ECEC as the official name of the profession in Ireland. @dcediy #ECECnotELC #earlychildhoodeducation

Great article from Early Childhood Ireland about the need for a rethink on delivering ECEC SAC in Ireland. We've been steered to service a work activation agenda for economic rather than a child centred approach. Heartens me to see articles like this. irishtimes.com/ireland/social…

This is not free childcare .. This is early childhood education 🥰 Early Childhood Ireland @dcediy

CF deadline is midnight tonight. The hive has been uncooperative all week and just as we we're filling out of CF application the site is down. So many providers are stressed and worried because they won't be able to pay their staff. We need an extension @dcediy Roderic O’Gorman TD

Debnolds follow@FederationEarly The providers protesting next week are shouting for better funding to support ERO2 and enable them to continue trading . Important items for all their employees I would think, and worth shouting for imo.

If you value the future of early years education then support our colleagues in the priest tomorrow. The issues affecting the sector impact, children, families, educators and employers alike. We're all n this together 💪

Fair funding 🥰 Roderic O’Gorman TD Leo Varadkar @dcediy The Federation of Early Childhood Providers

Fair Funding for all services 🥰 prioritise our children’s right to quality education xx Roderic O’Gorman TD Leo Varadkar @dcediy
