Caring for children, supporting families
We are a play-based preschool and afterschool service in Dublin 15, dedicated to giving every child a safe, nurturing and inspiring early years experience.
What we stand for
These values guide everything we do, from how we plan activities to how we interact with children and families.
Child-centred
Every decision we make starts with what is best for the children in our care.
Safe & secure
Rigorous safeguarding, secure access systems and trained staff across all centres.
Partnership with parents
We work closely with families, because parents know their children best.
Play-based learning
We believe play is the most powerful way young children learn and grow.
Nurturing environments
Bright, welcoming spaces designed to stimulate and comfort in equal measure.
Quality & standards
Our practice is guided by the Aistear and Síolta frameworks for early years education.
Guided by Aistear & Síolta
Our educational practice is informed by Ireland's two national frameworks for early childhood education. Aistear is the curriculum framework that guides how we plan and deliver learning experiences. Síolta is the quality framework that helps us maintain high standards across all our centres.
Together, these frameworks ensure that our practice is grounded in research, focused on children's wellbeing, and committed to continuous improvement. We do not claim formal accreditation — rather, we use these frameworks as guiding principles in our daily work with children.
Fresh, balanced meals every day
We believe that good nutrition is essential for growing children. Our centre cooks prepare fresh, balanced meals and snacks daily, following healthy eating guidelines. Mealtimes are social occasions where children learn to try new foods, share with friends, and develop healthy habits.
We cater for all dietary requirements and allergies, and our menus are shared with parents in advance.
Your child's safety is our priority
We take safeguarding extremely seriously. Every member of our team is trained in child protection, and we have robust policies and procedures in place to keep children safe.
Working in partnership with parents
We believe that parents are children's first and most important educators. We work in close partnership with families, sharing daily updates, developmental observations and planning together to support each child's learning and wellbeing. Our open door policy means you are always welcome to talk to us, ask questions, or share concerns.
