Before School
Our Before School Service offers care between 7:50 to 8:50. This service is available during school term time.
The children are offered breakfast cereal until 8:30 and have time to relax or play with friends before they begin their busy day at school.
The children will be taken to their class lines in the school yard for the bell ring at 8:50.

Infants
This is a one-hour care option available to families with children in Junior and Senior Infants.
It is designed to accommodate parents with older children by
offering a single pick-up time.
The children will be picked up from their school line at 13:30 and brought to an after school room, where they can unwind by playing indoors or outdoors, weather depending.
Parents can collect their child any time before 14:30.

After School
This service is available to children attending primary school, Junior Infants to 6th Class.
The children are given the opportunity to unwind after a day in school through
physical and creative
activities and snack time. We offered children healthy snacks and cater for dietary requirements.
Time is allocated in our daily routine to allow children to complete written homework. All learning and reading should be completed at home.
The Service ethos is built on having fun in an atmosphere that is different to that in the classroom.
Rest, Relaxation and Recreation are the focus of quality at our Before and After School Service.
Our aim is to extend the children’s daily learning by involving them in a range of creative and physical activities that stimulate and challenge them holistically.
After School is open every day during the school term. We offer camps during midterms and school closures. Camps are an additional cost.
