Here at St. Michael’s Little Scholars, we use a child centred play-based approach.

This curriculum allows us to support and promote the children’s holistic learning and development. Our curriculum works in line with Aistear and Siolta’s national framework for early childhood education and care in Ireland.

It promotes the child’s independence, interests, well-being, language and social skills. This is done through using an emergent and enquiry-based curriculum.

This means the curriculum is coming from the children and their experiences. The enquiry-based curriculum encourages children to explore and investigate through many learning experiences and conversations. Our curriculum is very inclusive of all children and their different interests, backgrounds and cultures.

St Michael’s Little Scholars has CCTV cameras in operation in its service. This is primarily for the purposes of maintaining the health and safety of employees and the children in our care, but always within the scope of current Data Protection and Childcare Protection legislation.

Testimonials

My daughter loves attending preschool at the Little Scholars. She is always learning something new and has great fun with all her friends. She wakes up every morning asking to go to school and is full of chat about her day when I collect her! The staff are so nice and friendly, never too busy to answer any questions I have.
