Fáilte

Welcome to the website of Tír na nÓg Naíonra (pre-school). Tír na nÓg Naíonra, part-time & School Age Childcare (SAC) service is located on the grounds of Gaelscoil na gCeithre Máistrí (F94 T863), beside Drumbar football fields. We are a play-based service, delivered through the medium of Irish (Gaeilge). No prior knowledge of the language is required. The Irish language is gently introduced through repetition and routine, which gives context to the language and helps enhance comprehension. We deliver the Aistear (curriculum framework) and Síolta (quality framework), in a child-led, inquiry-based, developmentally-friendly, and fun environment. We also provide a Part-Time service and a School Age Childcare (SAC) service. Please contact Eibhlín (Eileen) on the above number to discuss your childcare needs.

Our Goal

Our goal as Stiúrthóirí (preschool teachers) at Tír na nÓg Naíonra is to nurture the creativity and potential of each child. We achieve this through play-based, structured, guided, innovative, stimulating, and child-led learning activities, based on the child’s own interests.

Governance

Standards of Health, Safety and Welfare are governed through legislation by the Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) Regulations 2016. Tusla and the Department of Education and Skills are the regulatory and inspection bodies, responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of all Naíonra attendees.

NURTURING with CARE

We offer a variety of stimulating, inquiry-based, child-led, safe, and age-appropriate activities, in a spacious learning environment, to help build problem-solving skills, confidence, self-esteem, and resilience.
