Our School

Mischief Makers Montessori ensures that the safety of each child in our care is a priorty of our school.  We adhere to all health and safety regulations and fire safety regulations.  Our school has high gates and railings and a safe, enclosed outdoor play area with soft rubber play surface.  Our doors are fitted with Kidzsafe door jam protectors.  All electrical sockets have socket covers.  Staff have first aid training and we carry out regular fire drills.  We regularly review accident prevention procedures. 

Mischief Makers Montessori’s curriculum is based on the Philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. We have a full range of Montessori equipment and materials. The classroom is a prepared and ordered environment. All of the furniture is child sized and the Montessori materials are kept on low shelves within the reach of each child. We give English language support to non-national children, helping them to learn English so that he/she is well prepared to go on to primary school after Montessori.  A Montessori education gives a child an excellent foundation for all future education.

The teachers use Irish words and phrases in the classroom daily.  Children learn a love of nature, by bringing nature into the classroom and bringing the children outdoors throughout each season, teaching them about plants, animals, birds, insects, planting seeds and bulbs and caring for the environment. 

We value each child as an individual and develop the child in all areas of development (physical, intellectual, social and emotional).  The teachers give each child one-to-one tuition in each subject, according to the child's individual needs and interests, helping the child to achieve their potential.  Children also learn about a wide variety of topics as part of a group at Circle Time each day.

Children have freedom of movement to sit wherever they want in the classrrom.  They also have freedom of choice of what Montessori work they want to do, not what someone else has chosen for them. 

Our school has a calm atmosphere where children are nurtured and happy.
