Hi everybody.  I am Dannielle and I’ve been working with Hope for over a year now. Since a very young age I was very interested in working with children and in 2008 I graduated from the Dublin Institute of Technology with a Degree in Early Childhood Education. Since then I have over 12 years’ experience working in a variety of Early Years and Primary settings both in Ireland and overseas. I have experience working with several different curricula including:

• The English National Curriculum,
• The PYP Curriculum, Steiner, Montessori,
• Reggio Emilia, High Scope and Aistear.

I enjoy bringing the knowledge and educational philosophies that I have learned from different cultures to my centre.

I am very passionate about Music and Fitness and in my spare time, I teach children’s dance and participate in local Musical Theatre.  I love to cook, and I enjoy reading and writing. I am currently co-authoring a children’s book that I am writing with my 6-year-old daughter.

We are currently running an ASD class in Limerick but are very excited about expanding our centre in September 2020 which will offer Full Day Care, ECCE and Afterschool.
