Who We Are
Early Years Learning Academy is a dedicated Private ECCE Preschool. We are firmly committed to nurturing an inclusive, secure, and intellectually stimulating educational space for the children within the Kilcock local community. Our physical presence in Kilcock places us at the heart of this community, enabling us to engage closely with families and children alike.
Our preschool offers sessional Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) services tailored to children aged 2.8 years until their primary school journey begins. This crucial early childhood development phase is marked by immense growth, curiosity, and the foundation of lifelong learning. As such, we take on the responsibility of guiding and nurturing these young minds with the utmost care and expertise.
Our Team, consisting of passionate and qualified educators, possess a genuine affinity for children. Their deep understanding of child development and expert qualifications serve as a testament to their commitment to fostering an environment that is not only educational but also profoundly compassionate. Our Team's genuine love and interest for each child is augmented by their high-standard qualifications, instilling parents with the confidence that their children are under the attentive care of professionals who can provide kindness and expertise.
We've left no stone unturned in our pursuit of ensuring children's well-being. Every team member is meticulously trained in the Siolta and Aistear frameworks, from our highly qualified management to our dedicated educators. These frameworks lay the foundation for a comprehensive early childhood care and education approach, focusing on holistic development and individualised learning experiences. To remain at the forefront of childcare practices, our commitment to ongoing education means that our educators are continuously updated on the latest developments, policies, procedures, and best practices.
Our pedagogical approach centres on play-based and child-led learning, understanding that children thrive when actively engaging with their environment, peers, and materials. With funding support from Pobal, we can offer this invaluable program to parents without a financial burden. Our sessions, conducted in the morning and afternoon, five days a week, provide the flexibility and accessibility families need.
With an overarching goal of creating a secure, stimulating, and conducive learning atmosphere, we have set our sights on aligning our efforts with parents' expectations. However, our dedication extends beyond parental expectations; it reaches the heart of each child's developmental needs. We believe in fostering an environment where children are empowered to explore, enquire, and develop essential skills to serve as the foundation for their educational journey and beyond.
Early Years Learning Academy is more than a preschool. It's a nurturing haven where children's well-being and holistic development take precedence and where the partnership between educators, families, and children creates an atmosphere of care, curiosity, and growth.
