nternational Day of Play

Participating in the National Childhood Network’s "Stay and Play" session for International Day of Play is an incredible opportunity for early years settings to champion every child's fundamental right to play. By opening your doors to families, you directly build vital partnerships between parents and practitioners while fostering a welcoming sense of community belonging. This global event promotes the theme "Protect Play, Protect Childhood", highlighting how unstructured, child-led learning acts as the cornerstone for cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional growth. It allows your service to proudly showcase its high-quality, play-based pedagogy while aligning with national quality frameworks like Aistear, Síolta and EDI/inclusion and diversity. Ultimately, hosting a session is a joyful way to advocate for screen-free exploration, build lifelong learning foundations, and demonstrate the invaluable impact your educators make daily in children's lives.

Please join with NCN and celebrate play!

Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 — Attunement.
This Infant Mental Health Awareness Week (8th–14th June 2026) will focus on the theme of ‘Attunement’. During the week we will highlight how attuned early relationships support babies’ development.

👉Attunement is the ability to tune in and connect with others on an emotional level. It is important for everyone, but particularly for babies and their parents or carers.

👉Emotional attunement involves noticing, understanding and responding to another person’s emotional state in a sensitive and appropriate way. When adults are emotionally attuned to babies and young children they notice cues, validate children’s emotions and appropriately respond to them.

An easy way for parents to tune into their babies and Toddlers is the concept of "Connect when you collect"
