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 Montessori and for that I can’t thank you Kay and staff enough. Sandra Hughes 2021

Our daughter Lucia joined Footprints Montessori in September 2014 on a part time basis. From the moment we entered the school we knew that Lucia would be cared for in as warm a manner as any parent could wish for. Kay, who owns the school displayed nothing but kindness and support to our daughter each day.We are so impressed at the ability of Kay and her staff to nurture a love of learning in a happy,child centred environment. We are amazed at how much Lucia has progressed both academically and socially,and how independent she has become during her time in Footprints. The classroom environment is tailor made in every way for “little learners” to plot their own course towards achieving milestones that Kay plans out for them. The garden playground is a fantastic facility and the Christmas concert,,Pyjama days and beach trips and seasonally themed parties all contribute towards creating a rich and varied school experience for children and parents alike. It would not be possible for us to … Read more

My daughter Grace attends Footprints Montessori Preschool and I can truly say it has made a very positive difference to her development. She has so much fun with all the different tasks they carry out each day and she has such a sense of pride in everything she does. She talks about all her friends and her teachers;Kay,Donna and Orla at home all the time.Kay and the girls are very professional but also kind,loving and attentive and Grace loves all three of them. When I leave her at school in the morning I feel re-assured that she is in a safe and happy environment.

“Our daughter is currently in her second year at Footprints Montessori and loves every minute of her time there. This is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of Kay and her staff. We have watched Lilianna develop socially and academically in an environment which is caring, stimulating and educationally rich. Thank you for providing her with a strong foundation as she begins her journey in education.

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 first taste of school experience a very enjoyable one.

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.
