MECPI

Montessori & Early Childhood Professionals Ireland is an online community of practice for ECE professionals.

[MECPI @MECPI1]

Needless to say the Early Childhood Education and Care professionals in the sector are in disbelief. If they are indispensable vaccinate them immediately, respect their profession, and pay them accordingly. #Childcare #level5

@ProfLauraLundy LOVED this book-explores our pedagogical skillset in early childhood towards more rights respecting practice ..@WestrayAlison @HelenLyndon1 @GFrench_ECEC & lots of big virtual discussions happening amongst us here in the Irish sector too #ecechatie @EarlyChildhdIRL @MECPI1

Thank you @montigirl and @edmatters The mental health crisis in our sector is crippling us. I had tears in my eyes hearing of the suicide in our sector, the one we know about. There's many many others #MentalHealthMatters

@celinegovern @MECPI1 @OMEPIreland @ncn4children @MICEducationFac @acpire 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

[SETU Early Childhood Education @SETU_ECEP]

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

[Enda @donenda]

What a great quote.

[Nicola O Reilly @NicolaOReilly6]

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
