Babies are born primed to engage with people and to explore
the world around them. They are learning and developing
from their day of birth in every context in which they find
themselves. As babies’ participation in out-of-home early childhood
education and care (ECEC) settings is rising (OECD, 2012), the quality
of this education and care is of the utmost importance. This article
explores why we should focus on babies in ECEC settings in Ireland,
the unintended consequences of some policy actions, the specialised
knowledge and relational skills required for working with babies, and
some recommendations for policy and practice.
