Junior Montessori
Our youngest group. In this class children from 2 years old will be able to learn the foundations of the Montessori Education. Through fun and play using the appropiate materials along with our inspiring and educational chats during circle time and physical exercises, your children will become more independent everyday and will develop their senses and their curiosity about the world around them. Our family! like environment will help them along the way, getting them involved in all of our super fun activities while feeling at home.
Montessori
Our 4 years old Smarties Group. Following the Montessori Curriculum, children in this room will expand their knowledge about different aspects of life like the Continents and their cultures, the beginning of the Universe and its planets, water and land forms, cycles of life... along with the excitement of doing little Science experiments such as making their very own volcano. While working with advanced Montessori materials at this stage, they will learn much more about their numbers as well as new letter sounds, and will perform more complex practical life exercises like fastening buttons or folding clothes which will help them to develop independence, strong pincer grip, hand-eye coordination and an amazing self-confidence, making them all ready for their next step in life, big school.
Afterschool Club
Our Schoolies Group. Once they start going to school, children begin to feel the pressure of having certain responsibilities like doing their homework or knowing their letter sounds properly which sometimes can be a bit overwhelming, especially at the very beginning. That's why our mission in this club during this transition is to support them with the help needed (their homework will be supervised by an Irish Afterschool Teacher) and to engage them in activities that stimulate their new interests (Spanish, Irish music, Drama, Sports, Baking...) while feeling loved, relaxed and in their second home.
We aim to provide the best quality of care and extracurricular activities for our children. For that, after discussing with our dedicated Parents Committee, we decided to include in our programme Spanish and Irish Sessions during the week where the little ones will learn these languages in a super fun and easy way, Musical Rhythms getting to know real instruments and how to play them, Drama activities with our dress ups and little plays, Sporty Smarties learning the basics of the most popular sports and developing their gross motor skills along the way or Pottery in which your children will use their imagination to become our best sculptors. Every child will be able to take part in them using materials according to their interests and age group.
