Early Childhood Ireland’s National Awards celebrate and showcase our members’ ambition and commitment to continuously improve the quality of their practice and their services to children and their families. The awards build on professional practice within early learning and care services and aim to encourage ongoing reflection by and shared dialogue between educators. Early Childhood Ireland believes that sharing quality education and care practices and pedagogies through documentation has the power to build and enhance quality across services, and to enable high-quality experiences and environments for young children, families, educators and local communities.
We return to the fabulous Clontarf Castle for our 2020 Annual Awards Gala Dinner evening on 3 April 2020. The night shines a light on the creativity, innovation, impact, leadership and the advancement of professionalism in our sector. A vibrant and glamorous night, it has now become a highlight of the weekend with the evening booked out within 3 weeks last year.
