Daisy Chain Montessori Dublin

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞: Between the showers, our toddlers made a beeline for the outdoor blackboard, drawing, scribbling, and leaving their colourful mark on the day. Outdoor play like this isn’t just fun; it builds confidence, and strengthens motor skills.

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞: Our last look back at the toddlers playing with Easter eggs, animals, and all sorts of exciting textures in the tuff tray. What looks like simple play is actually big learning in action, as the children explored colours, shapes, and materials.

If we can get it right for children from the start, we can get it right for society. Help shape the future of early learning and care and school-age childcare in Ireland!

These are 2 completely different experiences for a child When a child gets their parents undivided attention, they feel loved and important They see their parent's smiles, learn to communicate & build strong emotional bonds When a child's parents are focused on a screen, a child feels isolated and less important Their communication skills suffer, their self esteem is lower & their emotional bond to parents is weaker The good news is parents get to choose the experiences they give their child.
