​BLÁTHÚ
 is an Irish word that means "flourish" or "blossom".
​
 It is  pronounced "blaw-hoo".
​

As a charitable organisation, our main object is the promotion and development of Steiner Early Years Education and Care in Ireland and the provision of information, education, guidance and support to individuals and organisations engaged in providing such education.
Charity Number 20204676
​
​
Our vision is that all early childhood settings are places where children are known, where they experience a life of activity and adventure, and are fully self-expressed in their learning through story, play and the natural rhythms of nature, with a focus on the formative first 7 years of life, informed by the pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner.
