BLÁTHÚ is Ireland's primary source of information about Steiner Waldorf education in early childhood for parents, our members government and funding agencies, childcare practitioners, and other childcare organisations.
About Membership of BLÁTHÚ
Our vision is that early childhood settings are places where children are known, where they experience a life of activity and adventure, and are fully self-expressed. With a focus on the formative first 7 years of life, we are informed by the methods of Rudolf Steiner, deep insight into child development, and observing and working with nature. We support those who create an environment that nurtures this vision, and we ensure these practitioners have access to ongoing development, training and advocacy.
As a member of BLÁTHÚ, you are part of a recognised professional body who, through its mission and actions, is committed to furthering the profile and formation of the Steiner-Waldorf Early Years services and pedagogy.
