Allison prides herself on the quality of her team of educators whom she hand-picks. Allison ensures each room has a BA (hons) degree qualified team leader and ensures all educators engage in continuous professional development. This ensures they provide the best and most Up-to-date care and education to the children in their care. Play and Learn Childcare & Education also prides itself on its inclusive practise, ensuring all children are given equal opportunities to reach their full potential. We operate an open-door policy, and welcome parents into our service to share ideas, carry out activities or volunteer for special occasions. We recognise the parents as the primary educators in their children’s lives, therefore partnership with parents is an extremely important aspect of our ethos.

Play and Learn Childcare & Education places huge emphasis on the importance of outdoor play, and the role it plays in children’s learning and development. Children are given ample opportunities to engage in outdoor play. Play and Learn is primarily play-based with elements of the Montessori method of teaching and learning incorporated into the daily routine. Practical life skills, independence skills and social & emotional development are central to Play and Learns daily routine. Aístear; the early year's curriculum framework & Síolta; the early years quality framework, guide our practise, and therefore we operate an emergent curriculum & children’s rights-based approach to learning where children’s voices, opinions and ideas lay the foundation for everything we do.

We look forward to welcoming you all to our service!
