Killorglin Family Resource Centre / Laune Childcare Service

Killorglin Family Resource Centre, operating under the name Laune Childcare Service, is a community‑based hub that provides a range of early childhood and family support programmes to families in Killorglin and the wider Mid Kerry area. The centre’s childcare programme offers a safe, nurturing environment for young children, focusing on early childhood care and education (ECCE) that encourages the development of new skills, social interaction and confidence. In addition to standard childcare, the centre delivers therapeutic services and play‑therapy sessions designed to support children’s emotional wellbeing and developmental needs. Beyond direct child‑care, the centre runs a suite of family‑focused services, including drug and alcohol addiction support, family support initiatives and a variety of community groups. These programmes aim to empower families, promote inclusive community participation and foster a vibrant, communicative society. The centre’s holistic approach combines education, therapeutic support and community development to broaden horizons for children and families alike.
