Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre!

At Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre, we believe that every child is a unique explorer, ready to embark on a wonderful journey of learning and discovery! Our preschool is all about nurturing a love of learning, encouraging independence, and fostering a strong sense of community among our little ones.

Our Learning Approach

We use a delightful mix of active learning and the Montessori Method in a warm and organized environment. This means your child will engage in hands-on activities that spark their curiosity and creativity!

Outdoor Adventures

One of the highlights of our center is our spacious outdoor area, which we treat as another classroom. Every day, children get to explore nature, play, and learn outside, connecting with the world around them.

Quality Assurance

We are proud to share that in 2017, we received the highest possible grade in all 75 components of the Síolta Quality Assurance Programme (QAP) external validation. This achievement reflects our commitment to providing the best possible care and education for your child.

ECCE Programme

We also offer the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Programme, which provides free preschool services to eligible children. This program is designed to ensure that every child has access to quality early education.
