Large family daycare/preschool in Positano Dublin

Leave a comment

I have a large family daycare in Positano, Dublin, that caters to 3-5 year olds.  I have a MS in Child Development from India and have taught in Bay Area’s best private preschool for 4 years. photo 1 My preschool graduates do really well in Kindergarten because I teach them the cognitive, social and emotional skills that gives them the confidence to do their best.
I offer 5 day/3day/2day sessions in the mornings and afternoons.  I have recently started a full day session from 9-4.  I have 2 spots open in the mornings and 4 spots open in the afternoon or 2 full day spots open.
I offer snacks twice a day.  I love teaching science and fun academics to the young kids.  I feel a kids mind is like a sponge.  A child has a potential to learn so much if we have the ability to make learning FUN.
