Little Hands Montessori and Afterschool Care

Little Hands Montessori & Afterschool Care delivers quality childcare across three sites in the Tuam and Headford areas of County Galway. The centre provides a safe, colour‑rich environment where children can learn through play, with age‑appropriate activities designed to support every stage of development. The programme follows the Aistear Early Childhood Curriculum Framework, organising daily activities around the four themes of Well‑being, Identity & Belonging, Communicating, and Exploring & Thinking. All teaching practices adhere to the Siolta National Quality Framework, ensuring high standards of care and education. The service combines Montessori‑based learning with flexible after‑school provision, including breakfast clubs and seasonal summer camps. Children benefit from a child‑centred approach that encourages independence, curiosity and social interaction, while staff maintain continuous professional development and are fully Garda‑vetted. The centre’s emphasis on a nurturing, home‑like atmosphere aims to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, engaged and developing holistically.
