Austria

The Austrian Umbrella Association of the Professional Groups of Kindergarten and Nursery Educators was founded in 1994. It is a non-profit society originated by the fusion of the professional groups of kindergarten and nursery educators of Austria. The aim is a non-political and non-religious professional group of educators for kindergartens and nurseries in Austria. On the one side, it represents the interests of the professional groups, on the other side, it obligates itself for the rights of children. A central point is the social and political demand for increased institutional care, education and upbringing of children, because this asks for adequate general conditions.
