Welcome to
Naíonra Ghleann Na Darach
Irish Language Pre-School
Naíonra Ghleann Na Darach Where learning Irish is Fun!
Áit le foghlaim lan le Spraoi
Here at Ghleann na Darach we provide children with opportunity to absorb a second language in a fun an enjoyable way. We provide the Free ECCE scheme through the medium of Irish.
Early Years Teachers
The staff at Naíonra Ghleann Na Darach are all fully qualified early years educators, who excel in their field and are passionate about early learning and education.
Learning Through Play
We encourage children to learn Irish naturally through play in a very relaxed environment. Each child engages with Irish, at their own pace, through songs, stories and daily routines.
Inclusive
Our Naionra strives to provide an inclusive and homely environment, where all children feel welcome and included. Parents do not need to have or speak Irish, and children do not need to be attending an Irish primary school to attend a Naionra. Everyone is welcome!
ECCE Free Preschool
We provide a play based curriculum with a blend of Montessori. At our pre-school, each child's individual needs and interests are recognised. We will provide an environment rich in opportunity and learning that encourages the holistic development of each child.
