Safari Childcare

Safari Childcare is an early learning centre operating across several sites in Dublin and Wicklow, including new centres in White Pines (Rathfarnham, Dublin 16), Hamilton Gardens (Cabra, Dublin 7), and Dun Laoghaire (Co. Dublin). The organisation offers a range of childcare provision from baby rooms to toddler rooms, as well as a Saturday playgroup running from 9 am to 2 pm, which is set to launch on 1 September 2024 at selected locations. An open day was held on 26 March at the Dun Laoghaire site, inviting families to explore the facilities and meet the staff. The centre’s educational philosophy centres on delivering subtle yet enjoyable social, physical and academic stimulation through a specially tailored curriculum. Safari Childcare highlights that children who experience quality, curriculum‑based care before mainstream schooling tend to show accelerated social and academic progress. The programme is designed to be developmentally appropriate, encouraging exploration and interaction in a safe, nurturing environment. A key element of Safari Childcare’s approach is close collaboration with parents and a rigorous vetting process for staff, ensuring that only highly professional and dedicated childcare practitioners are employed. This commitment underpins the centre’s standards of care and supports a partnership model where families are actively involved in their child’s early learning journey.
