Montessori | Creche | Afterschool

We are a diverse and inclusive full day care center that offers classes such as ECCE, Home Tuition and Afterschool Club. We follow the Montessori Philosophy throughout the center.  The center supplies nutritious hot and cold meals for all our children.  We offer fulltime and part time places.

We are currently offering a morning ECCE session (9am-12pm) and an afternoon ECCE session (12.30pm to 3.30pm). Our curriculum is based on the Montessori philosophy. We use a child led approach in this class also.  We offer a variety of activities such as baking, art crafts, construction and outdoor play. The children get to go on outings such as a trip to our local post office and to the library.

We run school collections from our local primary schools such as, St. Finnbarrs, St Maries of the Isle National school and Bunscoil Chríost Rí. In our afterschool room we offer homework support and plenty of fun games and activities to keep your child busy and to ensure they have loads of fun with their friends.

CORK CENTER

My name is Kate and I'm the manager of Hope Montessori in Deerpark Cork. I have a degree in Early Childhood Care and Education. I graduated from Mary Immaculate College in Limerick in 2010. I have been working with children from an early age. I have experience working in centers both here in Ireland and in New Zealand. I love to work with children as they are amazing little people. Watching them grow and learn each day is so special.

My hobbies include reading and music. I come from a very musical background and I love to apply it in the center. I am a firm believer that music is hugely beneficial in the early years for all aspects of development.
