ISSA - International Step by Step Association

The ISSA network envisions a society in which all families, communities and professionals work together to empower each child to reach her or his unique potential and embrace values of social justice and equity. 

Established in the Netherlands in 1999, we are a learning community powered by the leading early childhood experts in Europe and Central Asia. We are a membership organization working to unite professionals and partners to deliver high-quality early years services equitably. Together, we challenge existing knowledge and practice, and co-construct new approaches and models.

Our network is a dynamic mix of experts from NGOs, schools and kindergartens, higher education and academic institutions. ISSA members come from 40 countries, primarily in Europe, and work to ensure the best quality education and care for young children, especially the most vulnerable.
