Why MOSAIC CPD?
We offer practical explanations and tools that will streamline your work and provide clarity where confusion and overthinking may have taken over!
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programmes provided by Mosaic are hugely popular. The secret to Mosaic CPD is its uncomplicated format, enabling educators to refresh and up-skill in specific areas of pedagogical practice.
We currently have 14 CPD programmes to choose from and we update and add new programmes continually. Check out the range of programmes on offer at www.earlyedcpd.ie
A Unique Profile for Each Educator
The MOSAIC e-CPD platform is designed with the professional development of the individual educator in mind. Once you register to our platform, you have created a personal record profile to keep track of your CPD participation. This includes the dates you participated in individual programmes, a copy of your handouts and a copy of your certificate of participation. This means that if you move to a different early childhood setting, your CPD profile moves with you.
Mosaic programmes are underpinned by the principles and objectives of early childhood quality and regulatory frameworks – however, they are delivered in
an accessible, common-sense style that enables educators to make real and sustainable changes and improvements to everyday practice.
Practical and Transferrable Learning
In a climate where early childhood care and education is busy and continually changing, we believe that supporting and motivating management and educators to keep practice fresh is fundamental to the provision of positive experiences for staff and children.
A tried and tested Mosaic delivery model adopts a practical, jargon free approach with high levels of transferable learning to practice outcomes. In everyday terms, when time is precious and tasks are high, this is what Educators need from CPD!

Understanding Emergent Curriculum
The ‘Understanding Emergent Curriculum’ programme will enable the educator to understand what emergent curriculum is and how to implement this pedagogical strategy when working with babies, toddlers and pre-school children. This includes the background to emergent curriculum and planning inquiry based activities for the under 3’s and for pre-school children.
Strength-based Writing
The ‘Strength Based Writing’ programme will support Educators to focus on professional writing techniques when compiling Learning Stories, Transition Reports or Snapshot Reviews. Practical examples of strength-based writing in different formats are included.
Creating Learning Stories
The ‘Creating Learning Stories’ programme will provide Educators with practical guidance on this wonderful pedagogical technique for early childhood education. The programme is presented in 5 short components – each one building on the learning from the one before and packed with practical examples. Participants will discover how to structure, compile, and use learning stories as a meaningful assessment tool, to engage parents and to showcase children’s individual strengths, interests and needs.
Settling in Softly
‘Settling in Softy’ will support Educators to focus on the important role of supporting children’s emotional well-being through a curriculum of care – for example, when joining the pre-school setting for the first time. This practical e-CPD programme is a must for all educators to ensure children’s emotional well-being is front and centre during the early months away from home and family. The interdependent nature of educator well-being and the ability to support children is also explored.
A look inside Mosaic
‘MOSAIC Educator’ is an innovative, secure, child documentation system on a cloud-based app designed especially for early childhood services. The MOSAIC platform contains a range of pedagogical tools to support the work of the professional educator. Designed as an electronic storybook, MOSAIC brings together multiple components of quality to capture the magic of early learning.
Schematic Patterns in Play for 0-3’s
‘Schematic Patterns in Play’, identifies and explains the main play schemas. Sample activities to support children to develop these further are highlighted alongside descriptive words to build corresponding language acquisition under each schema. You will also see examples of how to write a learning story with a schema focus and many images of play schemas in action. This programme will be particularly suitable for those working with children under 3 and in junior pre-school.
Implementing an Emergent, Child-led Planning System
The ‘Implementing an Emergent Child-led Planning System’ programme is about creating a streamlined system. The aim is to outline a streamlined and effective system that will enable educators to plan for children’s emerging interests and needs and make their ‘voice’ visible.
This programme is an extension of the Mosaic programme ‘Planning for Emergent Curriculum’ and ‘Creating Learning Stories’ and puts a particular emphasis on including the voice of the child in the emergent planning process.
‘Seeing Voices’ Engaging Children’s Participation Rights & Voice in Early Education
The ‘Seeing Voices’ programme will give educators a sound framework from which to understand participation in the context of early childhood education and care. A range of practical strategies and activities for engaging children and including them in decision making processes in the early childhood setting are included.
TribeMOSAIC Support Programme: EMERGENT PLANNING ON MOSAIC
This FREE PROGRAMME is for Educators using MOSAIC. The short presentation is aimed at providing MOSAIC users with a go to resource around the emergent planning system on MOSAIC Educator.
Firstly the presentation will explain how emergent planning sits within the MOSAIC Documentation System. Then guidance on actually completing an emergent plan using MOSAIC EDUCATOR is provided.
The Key Person Approach
The Key Person Approach is characterised by a relationship of trust so that the child can feel secure within a group experience. This approach is long recognised as a quality component of early childhood practice.
Whether you are a Manager of an early childhood setting who wants to implement a Key Person Approach or an Educator looking to refresh practice, this practical programme will keep you on the right track. The programme moves from the leglislative and quality context of the Key person Approach to the practical implementation of the approach itself.
Understanding Aistear
The Understanding Aistear programme offers either a first introduction to Aistear for Childminders or for new members of staff who may be unfamiliar with the framework.
In addition, the programme acts as a refresher programme for existing staff who want to reflect on various aspects of their practice under the Aistear principles, themes and learning goals.
