Welcome to our new website!

We are happy to launch our new Early Childhood Ireland website and brand refresh. The new look website is reflective of our new Strategic Plan 2021-2026 and provides a strong platform for our work and to support our members both now and into the future. We have also taken the opportunity to refresh our corporate brand.

We would like to thank our members who worked with us to test the website. The outcome is a strong website that accurately reflects our history and legacy while also communicating the focus of our work over the next five to ten years. We believe that while a change in format will be noticed, the user journey is clear and intuitive. The website has been designed with our refreshed brand in a modern format with clean lines and now includes additional functionality across a range of key areas including our newly branded shop, a dedicated membership area and online Garda Vetting.

Our goal with this new website is to provide our members and new visitors with an easier and more intuitive way to learn about Early Childhood Ireland’s services and work and to browse information based on your own choice. You should find that the new website is faster, easier to navigate, and more user-friendly with simplified and updated content,  streamlined menus and improved mobile responsiveness. Ordering from our shop is also easier with our new design. And whether you visit from a desktop, tablet or smartphone – reading and navigating our website will be easier and more convenient than ever.

As the sector’s largest membership organisation, it is important to us that our members receive an excellent service and feel supported in their work in providing quality experiences for children. We will continue to update the content and design on our website over the coming months and years to ensure that new services and information are easily accessible to members across all categories. We will continue to provide our members with the most accurate, up-to-date information, a full suite of support services and share our knowledge and expertise in the field of early learning and care and school-age childcare.
