Our aim at The Children’s House is to encourage and preserve the natural curiosity and joy of learning with which young children begin life.

We believe that the Montessori approach to early childhood education allows us to do this; by affording children the freedom and the respect to explore and learn about their environment in their own time, by exposing them to the wonders of the world about them, all the different people and cultures which inhabit it, and by helping them to achieve a sense of self-worth and dignity, respectful of themselves and each other.

Curriculum

We are happy to say we have taken part in the Early Childhood Care and Education scheme since its inception in 2010; this now enables us to offer your child 2 free years of pre-school education. To avail of these 2 years, you just need to enrol your child – we do the rest, and will ask you for the relevant information as needed when your child starts with us.

From September 2018, children will be eligible to avail of the ECCE scheme in the September of the year that they turn 3 years old, and they are entitled to 2 years of ECCE before they start primary school. For example, if your child turns 3 in January 2019 or December 2019, they will qualify for their 2 years’ ECCE from September-June 2019 and September-June 2020.
