Benefits of Forus Training for Early Learning Professionals
Over the past few years, the field of early learning and care has developed rapidly. This has encouraged many individuals to start a career in this sector. The transition from Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) to Early Learning and Care (ELC) in 2022/23 has signified a broader, more holistic approach to early childhood development, focusing on both care and educational outcomes.
A set of national standards and guidelines regulate the ELC sector in Ireland. This results in consistency and quality across different types of early learning and care services. Professional development in the ELC sector is essential as educators and caregivers are required to have specific qualifications. They are expected to engage in continuous professional development to maintain and enhance their skills. This ensures that they can provide the best possible support and education to young children, fostering their cognitive, language, emotional, and social development.
