Welcome to Stepping Stones Childcare & Pre School!

Nestled in the heart of Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland, Stepping Stones Childcare & Pre School is a cherished place for little ones to learn and grow. With over 11 years of experience, we pride ourselves on creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where children aged 3 months to 12 years can thrive.

A Safe and Fun Environment

Our facility is specially designed with spacious classrooms and a large outdoor area, providing plenty of room for exploration and play. Safety is our top priority, which is why we have CCTV and controlled access to ensure a secure environment for your child.

Learning Through Play

At Stepping Stones, we believe that play is the best way for children to learn! Our play-based curriculum follows the Aistear framework, allowing us to tailor activities to meet the unique needs and interests of each child. This means your little one will be engaged and excited about learning every day!

Flexible Care Options

We understand that every family is different, which is why we offer a variety of care options, including full-time, part-time, sessional, and free ECCE Pre-school places. Plus, all meals are included in our fees, so you can rest easy knowing your child is well-fed and happy.
