The Village Montessori

The Village Montessori, situated in Edmundsbury, Lucan, offers a purpose‑built environment equipped with a full range of Montessori materials. The centre is designed to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere where children aged 2½ to 5 years can develop intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially. Emphasising a child‑centred approach, the preschool follows the Montessori Method, allowing each child the freedom and responsibility to select work from low‑shelf materials in a prepared and ordered setting. This encourages independence, concentration, and collaborative interaction with peers and teachers. The facility provides both a one‑year and a two‑year curriculum, catering to the developmental needs of toddlers and preschoolers. An open‑door policy ensures continuous parent‑teacher communication, and after the formal class sessions (which run from 8:50 am to 12:20 pm depending on the class), a “stay and play” programme extends care until 2:20 pm. All staff are fully Montessori qualified, first‑aid trained and Garda vetted, reinforcing a safe and nurturing environment for young learners.
