The Village Montessori

The Village Montessori, situated in Edmundsbury, Lucan, offers a purpose‑built environment equipped with authentic Montessori materials. The centre aims to create a warm, friendly atmosphere where children are encouraged to develop intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially. Catering for children aged 2½ to 5 years, the pre‑school follows a child‑centred approach rooted in the Montessori Method, providing both one‑year and two‑year curricula that allow each child to progress at their own pace. Children work in a prepared and ordered setting, with low shelves that give them the freedom and responsibility to select their own activities. This encourages independence, sharing and interaction with peers and teachers. The centre operates an open‑door policy, promoting continuous parent‑teacher communication, and offers stay‑and‑play care until 2:20 pm after the morning classes finish. All staff are fully Montessori qualified, first‑aid trained and Garda vetted, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment.
