The ‘Voice of the Child’ Research Project
The ‘Voice of the Child’ research project was undertaken by MOSAIC in 2021. This research study and practical intervention was initiated by The Genesis Programme in County Louth and funded by Louth Children and Young Peoples Services Committee (CYPSC). This quality intervention initiative had an overall aim of enhancing the voice of the child in early childhood settings in County Louth.
The research and intervention element of the initiative was facilitated and delivered by Mosaic Digital Solutions for Early Education. This included a suite of training and mentoring supports and the introduction of the MOSAIC app– a professional educator tool to record, support and share children’s learning and development with parents (www.mosaicelc.ie).

The Results
A total of 288 children and 56 educators took part in the training initiative from March to June 2021.
The main learning and benefits cited by participants following the training was around increased awareness of the voice of the child and how to think from the perspective of the individual child.
Participant feedback strongly suggested that documentation was greatly enriched by using the MOSAIC app. Central to this was being able to capture the child’s voice as part of everyday practice and gave the educator a framework for recording, documenting, and sharing information with parents.
Overall, participants felt that their expectations of the programme had been surpassed and would advise other educators to participate in the type of training.
Observing and listening to children carefully is where early childhood education begins. The most important verbs in early education are not ‘to talk’ ‘to teach’ or ‘to show’ – but ‘to listen’.
