At Tír na nÓg we have a very strong daily rhythm, following each season which culminates in a festival each term. We have seasonal stories and do lots of singing, baking, watercolour painting, beeswax modelling, seasonal craft, gardening and so much more but most importantly there is lots of time for play and meaningful tasks. Parental involvement is wonderful as we build a little community with our preschool families coming together for craft, festivals and parent talks.
