Parkside Childcare

Parkside Childcare is a long‑established pre‑school and crèche serving families in Rathfarnham, South Dublin since 1994. The centre provides high‑quality childcare with both full‑time and part‑time places, including slots funded under the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme. Its “Empowering Play” curriculum follows the Aistear Framework, delivering play‑based learning that promotes well‑being, identity, communication and exploration across all stages of early development. The private facility features secure, age‑appropriate classrooms and two large all‑weather gardens, offering a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and play. A dedicated nutrition programme, designed by an in‑house nutritionist, supplies fresh, balanced meals prepared daily in an HSE‑ and HACCP‑compliant kitchen, catering for all dietary requirements and allergies. The centre’s stable, experienced team ensures continuity of care, giving parents confidence in a trusted, home‑like setting.
