Kids Play Montessori School and Aftreschool

Established in 1999, Kids Play Montessori School and Afterschool is a well‑known early years centre situated in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16. The facility provides a Montessori‑inspired preschool programme for children aged 2 to 5 years, creating a supportive and child‑centred environment that encourages independence, confidence and social development. The centre follows the Montessori method, offering a prepared setting where children can explore learning materials at their own pace, fostering creativity and a love of learning. In addition to the preschool provision, Kids Play offers a home‑based after‑school care service for children aged 4 to 12 years. This service extends the nurturing atmosphere of the Montessori setting into the later part of the day, supporting families with a safe, structured environment for homework, play and social interaction. A daily nutritious meal is provided through a partnership with Little Dinners, ensuring children receive balanced nutrition while they learn and play.
