Statement of Purpose and Function / Mision Statement


Tír na nÓg Montessori School caters for children from 2½ - 5 years of age.

At Tír na nÓg Montessori School we recognise every child's right and need to learn. We promote learning through the Montessori method of teaching in an environment that is safe, structured and stimulating.

At Tír na nÓg we:

1. Recognise and respect each child's individual and group identity.

2. Endeavour to meet with and discuss the changing needs of families and children with the help and support of the Cork Childcare Committee.

3. Embrace all cultures and abilities.

4. Offer a comprehensive education for children aged 2½ - 5 years of age in a prepared Montessori environment.

5. Are committed to the total development of the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically and culturally, thus preparing the child for life.

6. Assist the children to develop a love of learning and to enjoy work. This will stay with them throughout their lives.

7. Value all children as individuals and appreciate their uniqueness.

8. Recognise that parents play a crucial role as primary educators of their children and we are therefore committed to being open, inclusive, welcoming and respectful of all parental input.

9. Endeavour to enlighten parents on the importance of the child's own environment outside the school as an integral part of the child's overall development.

Tír na nÓg Montessori School is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and we can cater for 110 children in Sessional Service.
