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. I feel Holly has excelled while at footprints and she will go ahead into big school emotionally and academically ready because of her time here. We leave with wonderful memories. As someone once said to me ” You cannot put a price on your c…

Callie has been attending Footprints Montessori full time since September 2015 and has loved every minute of it. Since starting she has come on leaps and bounds in every aspect of her development and even looks forward to go to school at weekends!! She will miss Kay, Edel and Esther but I am confident she will settle in well into junior infants and this is all down to Kay and her staff. She will bring everything she has learned from the past year with her. Many thanks for making Callie’s firs…

I can´t rate this Montessori highly enough, my son used to cry when the weekends came, he missed Kay and his new pals so much. The variety of activities is second to none and really brought the creative side out in my son, he now can sit for more than two minutes. Well done to Kay and staff and I know there will be tears when we leave.

My son has blossomed since starting at Footprints Montessori under the care and guidance of Kay and her staff. They have become important people in his life and he loves going to `Kay´s House´ to meet all his friends, play, have fun and learn lots of new things! Kay and her team have helped my son enormously with his speech and language skills, social skills and generally learning more about the world around him. I attribute this to the dedication, care and attention given especially by Kay an…
