Toddlers (2 – 3 years)

The toddler area offers a more structured play and learning environment catering to their individual needs. This is a transitional time for your child and while in this room you will see many changes.

Your child’s vocabulary will increase, putting together sentences instead of just words. We work daily on building vocabulary through friendly chatter, songs and rhyme.

Wobblers (1 – 2 years)

Children in this age group need lots of space to move around and explore!
We provide age appropriate equipment so children can gain confidence in their rapidly developing gross motor skills. We also ensure our curriculum provides lots of sensory experiences to encourage development of neural pathways. These include playdough, oatmeal play, water play and much more. Story, music and rhyme are incorporated into the children's day as is the use of the language of number.

Pre-School

Children learn through play. Curriculum is everything which the child experiences in their day, including meal times and transitions. Our curriculum philosophy is implemented through an approach termed “Emergent Curriculum.”
This approach is play based and uses Aistear and Siolta the early years framework used in primary schools and quality early years services in Ireland.
Emergent curriculum is an approach that permits learning activities to arise out of each child’s interests, actions or serendipitous events.

Afterschool

We offer a Breakfast Club and a After School service. Children from 5 to 10 years of age are collected from local schools by staff and provided with a hot meal and an afternoon activity programme in an environment suitable to their needs.

Children are able to relax, and unwind after their day at school. We also provide care on days off or during school holidays. Staff supervise homework and as much as possible we try to ensure that out door play is available to help burn of steam!
