ABOUT US

OUR CENTER

Our centre is a purpose built creche in the beautiful estate of Clonuske.  We have a spacious Garden with a new fully weather proof outdoor play area.  This allows us to bring extra learning to the outdoors where children can play all year round: Sunshine, rain or Snow.  We have 5 beautiful play rooms from our beautiful calm and nurturing baby room up to our creative and inspiring Pre-School room.  We have access to a lovely large green at the front of the building which we use regularly for outdoor football, picnics nature walks or just to have a run around.

Mission Statement

Mission Statement:

Philosophy:

Snowdrops Creche aims to provide a friendly, welcoming environment where children feel safe and where their natural love of learning is enhanced and encouraged. We believe in providing a caring, culturally sensitive environment that will support your child in reaching his / her potential. Our commitment to Aistear, the Early Childhood Curriculum and Siolta the National Quality framework provides the basis for our curriculum and practice.

We believe each child is unique and learns through respectful, responsive relationships with people, places and things, as well as through active exploration of the environment which is constructed to scaffold children’s learning while supporting and encouraging their interests. Through noticing, recognising and responding to children’s learning dispositions and interests, teachers will extend and enhance the children’s learning and development. Free choice within clear guidelines, encourages exploration and independence.
