About This Service
This community service is based in Carna, an Irish speaking village in Connemara, county Galway. This preschool service operates from a purpose-built facility with 3 childcare rooms namely the ‘Naíolann Baby/Toddler room’, Seomra 2 ‘Seomra Lapadán’ and ‘An Naíonra’. A full day care and an Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) pre-school care programme (09.30 to 12.30) is offered Monday to Friday. A school aged afterschool programme from 14.00 to 18.00 is also provided in a separate building. The service has one sleep room within the ‘Naíolann Baby/Toddler room’. Quiet rest areas are available in each of the playrooms for children to rest and relax. Food is prepared, cooked and stored on site in a designated kitchen by a cook. The children in the ‘Naíolann Baby/Toddler room’ have their meals and snacks in the dining room attached to the kitchen. All other children have their meals and snacks in their playrooms. The pre-school children have access to secure outdoor play areas to the rear and a newly developed play area to the side of the premises for play activities, exploration and fresh air. The service aims to create an inclusive play-based learning environment focusing on the children’s emerging interests and play through the medium of Irish.
