The Curragh Montessori School

The Curragh Montessori provides professional childcare combined with a Montessori‑based early years curriculum for children aged 2½ to 6 years. The centre celebrates a long‑standing reputation, having marked its 25th anniversary in 2020, and operates under the oversight of Tusla and Pobal, ensuring compliance with national early years standards. A focus on creating a “home from home” atmosphere means that the physical, psychological and educational needs of each child are met by an experienced and caring team within a cheerful, community‑oriented setting. The premises comprise two dedicated classrooms, a large indoor play hall, three easily accessible fire exits and ample toilet facilities equipped with specially constructed step‑ups for younger children. The school can accommodate up to 43 children at any one time, maintaining a staff‑to‑child ratio of 1:11. Opening hours run from 9 am to 12 noon, with additional summer camp programmes offered in late July and early August for children aged 3‑6 years, providing a fun, play‑based learning experience at €75 per week.
