Child Centred Competences for Early Childhood Education and Care

Child Centred Competences for Early Childhood Education and Care Childcentredness is important for working with children, underpinning effective & quality pedagogy,

Child Centred Diversity in Quality Early Childhood Education and Care is a European research project, involving partners from Croatia, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the UK. The project stems from the international recognition of early childhood education and care (ECEC) being a social investment strategy for supporting parental employment and providing the foundations to children’s lifelong learning. Internationally those who work in ECEC are recognised as central to the quality of ECEC. Despite the continued focus on the importance of the ECEC workforce for the quality of services, structural attributes, such as initial qualification requirements, are variable across Europe, and professional development requirements, if present at all, are even more differentiated. Beyond these structural attributes are questions as to what constitutes the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a competent ECEC workforce. The project focuses on the knowledge, skill and attitude of being 'child centred', questioning what it means, what it looks like and how it can be developed through professional training.
