Early Years Education and Care

Eurochild aims to contribute to the early childhood policy debate in Europe and to support the work of the EU in this field.

Universal, high quality, accessible, and affordable early years’ education and care services are crucial in the fight against child poverty and social exclusion. Early childhood services have a great potential for increasing child well-being, advancing child rights, achieving fundamental social democratic goals, and ensuring that all children have a fair start in life.

A comprehensive approach to early years’ policies from children’s best interest point of view is essential.

"Early Years, Education and Care" is one of the four member-driven thematic working groups.
