The Irish Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Association (ISWECA), which is Ireland's national voluntary association of Steiner Waldorf childcare practitioners. Members are based throughout the 32 counties of Ireland. Associate membership is open to all who support the work of the Association.

ISWECA provides support for members as well as responding to the increasing level of interest in Steiner Waldorf early childhood education more generally in Ireland. The association has established a programme of workshops on aspects of Steiner Waldorf education for childcare practitioners and it runs a three-year part-time training programme (the Early Childhood Education Programme). ISWECA and its activities are supported through the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme.
