Little Apples Academy

Welcome to Little Apples Academy!

At Little Apples Academy, we believe that every child deserves a warm and caring place to grow and learn. Our childcare facility is designed to be a nurturing environment where children can thrive in all areas of their development—physical, social, emotional, and intellectual.

Our Unique Approach

We follow the Montessori method of education, which encourages children to explore and learn at their own pace. Here, kids engage in self-directed activities, enjoy hands-on learning, and participate in collaborative play with their friends. This approach helps them develop independence and confidence while having fun!

A Curriculum That Supports Growth

Our curriculum is guided by the Aistear National Curriculum Framework, tailored specifically for preschool education in Ireland. This framework ensures that our activities are not only enjoyable but also educational, helping children build a strong foundation for their future.

Healthy Meals for Happy Kids

We know that good nutrition is essential for growing bodies and minds. That’s why we provide balanced and nutritious meals, including breakfast and hot dinners. We kindly ask parents to send along healthy snacks to keep our little ones energized throughout the day.

Flexible Hours to Fit Your Needs

Understanding that every family has different needs, we offer flexible hours with options for part-time, half-day, full-day, and afterschool programs. This way, you can choose what works best for your family!

Experienced and Caring Staff

Little Apples Academy is proudly owned by Clodagh Collins and Gemma Holohan, both of whom have extensive experience in childcare. Our dedicated staff is highly trained, with all members having completed Garda Siochana vetting and various safety trainings to ensure a safe environment for your children. We maintain a teacher-to-child ratio of 12:1 in our afterschool rooms, allowing for personalized attention and care.

You can find us in the heart of Blackrock, Dublin, making it easy for families in the area to access our wonderful programs.
