As a state chartered kindergarten, we offer an all-day program designed to meet the needs of working parents.
Our curriculum is based on Dublin City School's requirements, but due to smaller child/teacher ratio and extended hours, each child receives individual attention for a longer period.
We seek to provide an environment in which children's cognitive, social and physical development is stimulated through use of learning tools such as computers, books, games, math and science manipulatives, indoor/outdoor play equipment, music and drama.
Our certified Kindergarten teacher is up to date on the latest developments in the field by regularily attending seminars and workshops.
The extended day allows for extracurricular activities such as Gymnastics and Computer classes.
