Full Day Care
Since 1994 Mullingar Montessori has been the leading provider of Full Day Care. Attendance Hours and Days are flexible.
Our Montessori Class offers a range of Montessori materials and activities.
There are two directresses in each room, fully trained and qualified in Montessori who teach the children indivdually how to work at their own pace.
We do a lot of work with Síolta and Aistear, the national quality framework of how the following themes translate into practice;
If your child is offered a place at Mullingar Montessori, then their fees are paid by the ECCE Scheme during our ECCE school hours.
It covers 3 hours per day, 5 days per week, 38 weeks per year, for 2 years. The 38 week year runs from September to June. Our ECCE hours are 9:45am to 12:45pm Monday to Friday.
They qualify for their first year starting in September, if they are 2 years and 8 months old by 31st of August.
Visit our ECCE Scheme page for more details on eligibility and age calculator.

“The child’s mind is not the type of mind we adults possess.
If we call our type of mind the conscious type,
that of the child is an unconscious mind.”
MARIA MONTESSORI
