Professional Educators and Managers Ireland (PEMI) is a voluntary professional body for the Early Childhood and School Age profession. It focuses solely upon promoting and supporting professional standards and professional practice among those working with children within Early Childhood and School Age in Ireland.
PEMI is of and for the Early Childhood and School Age profession. It is not a union, nor is it a provider representative organization. The body focusses upon professional standards and professional practice, and therefore, membership is open to those who hold a qualification in Early Childhood/School Age from Level 5 through to Level 8+, and those studying for a qualification. Membership of this professional body means working to hold ourselves accountable for our words and actions in relation to our work with children, families and other stakeholders both in professional practice and on social media platforms.
