Purpose Built
Footprints Montessori currently runs at the new purpose built premises in Cashelard Village. This new building is bright, spacious and purpose built to suit all the needs of the preschool child.
Sensory Garden
We also have an outdoor sensory garden area for the children. Here the children will get to explore their natural environment and learn about the care of plants, vegetables and flowers. Kay and staff feel the children will benefit greatly through learning in their outdoor environment through fun.

It could not be possible for me to overstate my appreciation for this great Montessori school. Holly loved her time spent here so much. Kay and her wonderful staff are remarkable, they apply a fantastic fun filled yet structured atmosphere on a daily basis.

As someone once said to me ” You cannot put a price on your c… Read more

I can’t recommend Kay and her staff in Footprints Montessori enough. I have had three kids attend there and every year when you think they can’t get any better ,they excel themselves adding more and more activities.The staff are outstanding, the care and attention they put into each individual child is second to none.Not only do they learn the skills needed in the classroom but the activities outside from learning to ride a bike to caring for animals. My kids had the best experience in Montessor… Read more

Our son Darragh started Footprints Montessori in September 2019. From the first day he loved it.We can’t recommend Kay and her staff highly enough.Their hard work and dedication to making the children feel at home is second to none.It’s comforting to know as we drop off our child that he is met with a big smile and he can’t wait to leave us and get inside. Darragh has come on leaps and bounds since he started. We wish Kay and staff all the very best for the future. Leslie and Martina Keaney… Read more
