Stepaside Village

Our crèche is located in the heart of the neighbourhood; it has a very homely feel and there are boundless opportunities to learn through imaginative and creative play. We offer a broad curriculum underpinned by Aistear and Siolta frameworks encouraging children to learn through play to become active learners. We also have a wonderful arts and crafts room which our budding Picassos enjoy every day!

All the rooms are on the ground floor and have easy access to our well laid out, secure outdoor play area, for the children to enjoy all year around. We have a strong connection with our neighbours and the wider community and parent partnership is very important to us. There is an open door policy at the centre and we host a number of parent and family events throughout the year.
