Pre Schools
Muiríosa Foundation manages three pre-schools which are funded by the HSE. They are located in Portlaoise, Co. Laois, Clara, Co. Offaly and Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath.
Providing a Nurturing Start for Every Child - Supporting Every Child’s Unique Journey
The pre-schools offer specialised, tailored support for children with a global developmental delay which may include additional neurodivergent, physical and/or complex needs. Our inclusive and welcoming environment celebrates cultural and religious diversity, ensuring every child feels valued and supported.
With an holistic approach to development, we focus on emotional, physical, psychological, and educational growth, creating a foundation where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
Our dedicated teams work closely with families to provide individualised support, fostering confidence, independence, and a love for learning in a safe and stimulating setting.
Through meaningful play experiences, we support each child’s unique abilities, fostering a sense of joy and discovery that lays the groundwork for lifelong learning.
All staff have either a Child care or Nursing qualification and the pre-schools are inspected by TUSLA in accordance to National Early years pre-school regulations.
