Ballinteer Montessori School

Ballinteer Montessori School provides a warm, nurturing environment where children can develop at their own pace through a child‑centred Montessori approach. The curriculum is designed to support all areas of development – physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional and social – by offering freedom within clear limits, encouraging concentration, confidence and independence. Playful learning is at the heart of the programme, with activities that integrate the four main themes of Aistear: Communicating, Exploring and Thinking, Identity and Belonging, and a focus on health and wellbeing. The school aligns its practice with the national Siolta Quality Framework for Early Years Children’s Services, ensuring that standards for care and education from birth to six years are met. By combining Montessori principles with the Aistear curriculum, the centre aims to foster a holistic learning journey, helping each child become a confident, happy and healthy participant in their family and community.
