Lots of fun this week at our St Patrick's Day-themed workshops for ages 0-3 in the libraries in Kildare!
We had so much fun at today's Valentine's messy play ♥️ Thank you, Mikaela @home.tone.piano.academy, for joining us with some lovely tunes!
We discussed topics in relation to better supporting our children’s development, dealing with tantrums, balanced parenting, and the negative impact of devices when used inappropriately. We created a safe space for parents to share their challenges and discuss solutions as a group. It was a lovely environment learning from each other.
Our recent Montessori Teacher Training focused on empowering educators with essential tools and resources to foster play and creativity in the early years. During the enriching double session, teachers came together to explore new ways to shape a brighter future for the children in their classrooms. It was a meaningful experience, filled with inspiration and collaboration. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it!

Discovery Playtime had a fantastic time at FunFest! We loved meeting so many amazing families and sharing in all the fun. Our sensory tuff trays made for a fantastic exploration, while our giant bubbles added a magical touch. Little artists got creative at the easels, and face painting turned kids into butterflies, fierce tigers, and more. Parachute play and games kept everyone engaged. The day was filled with smiles, joy, and boundless energy. Thanks to everyone who joined the fun – we're already looking forward to next year!
