Sandymount Green Montessori

Sandymount Green Montessori School is situated in the heart of Sandymount Village, occupying the upstairs rooms of Christchurch Hall within the historic grounds of Christ Church and Mount Tabor. The location offers a peaceful, community‑focused environment, just a short walk from Shellybanks ETNS and Scoil Mhuire Lakelands NS, making it convenient for families in the area. Established in 1980, it is the longest‑running Montessori school in Sandymount and is recognised locally for delivering high‑quality childcare underpinned by the Montessori philosophy. The school provides care for children aged from two years and six months up to five years, delivering a curriculum that encourages independence, curiosity and a love of learning. Operating from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm during the 38‑week school term, the centre offers a part‑time schedule that supports families seeking morning care. Registration with the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) framework and the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) ensures that the provision meets national standards for safety, learning and staff qualifications. New, longer opening hours are planned, reflecting a commitment to expanding support for the community. The Montessori environment at Sandymount Green focuses on prepared learning spaces, child‑led activities and mixed‑age groupings, allowing each child to progress at their own pace. Highly qualified and experienced teaching staff guide children through hands‑on experiences that develop practical life skills, social interaction and cognitive development, creating a nurturing setting that prepares children for the transition to primary school.
