Janet HornerProud to be supporting National Womens Council Ireland call for a public model of childcare, the system we have now isn’t working for parents, it isn’t working for children, and it isn’t working for childcare providers. The government are failing to match or even work towards their election promises of €200 childcare. It’s forcing women who want to return to work to stay home even if they can find a space, because they simply can’t afford it.

𝓜𝓲𝓪Supporting Gender Diversity in Early Childhood Classrooms
By Encian Pastel, Katie Steele, Julie Nicholson, Cyndi Maurer, Julia Hennock, Jonathan Julian, Tess Unger, and Nathanael Flynn, 2019
By offering practical steps for adults who work with young children to build inclusive and intentional spaces where all children receive positive messages about their unique gender selves, this book increases awareness about gender diversity in learning environments such as child care centers, family child care homes and preschools. The book is based on some of the most progressive, modern understandings of gender and intersectionality, as well as research on child development, gender health, trauma informed practices and the science of adult learning. By including the voices and lived experiences of gender-expansive children, transgender adults, early childhood educators and parents and family members of trans and gender-expansive children, it contextualizes what it means to rethink early learning programs with a commitment to gender justice and gender equality for all children.
