Carr’s Early Years Education
The crèche offers a service to 25 children from 3 months to 5 years. We use High Scope, Aistear and Siolta as a framework to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children.
By this we mean that the emphasis of our work is to support the children at their current developmental level in a setting where they have opportunities to choose materials and ideas within their play.
Staff working with the children see themselves as facilitators to the children’s play. Click to go to the Early Years Education page.
