Celebrating Learning

Early Childhood Ireland launched the “Learning Stories Awards” in 2012.

These awards were initiated to showcase the wonderful work and learning that is happening in our members’ services.

Do you have a Learning Story to share?

Learning Stories 2013

We are inviting you to submit stories that show significant learning moments or events that happen through play in your service.

We will be displaying a selection of learning stories on the Early Childhood Ireland website on a monthly basis. From this selection a monthly winner will be chosen to go forward to the “Annual Learning Story Awards”.

Each Highly Commended story will also receive a certificate and be displayed on our website.

To find out more about submitting an application, please visit the How to Apply page.

The next Learning Stories Awards will be presented at the Early Childhood Ireland Annual Conference 2013.

The Learning Stories Awards will be allocated on a monthly basis.  The next closing date for submissions will be 20th May 2012.
