Committee Chairman, Jim Daly TD, said “The Committee look forward to hearing from Early Childhood Ireland on their vision for how best practice in Early Childhood Education (ECE) can be implemented. We look forward to discussing how, through this vision, every child in Ireland would thrive and learn in a conducive setting in their formative years.”
“The Committee also welcomes the opportunity to hear more about the challenges which this vision presents - including how we enhance the quality of ECE for children, how services and staff can be protected for sustainability and how this can be made affordable to parents.
