About

Happy Days Montessori Newcastle West Limerick

Happy Days Montessori strives towards the highest possible standards of care and hope that together with your cooperation, we can make your child’s time with us, happy, safe and stimulating.

Here at Happy Days Montessori, we are committed to provide a progressive and consistently high-quality Montessori service to our families. We continually strive to help nurture, challenge and foster independence in the children we care for. All children will be encouraged to actively explore their play-based environment which facilitates progressive, educational learning. However, we acknowledge that all children grow at their own pace so therefore we document each child’s learning and aim to satisfy their individual, and sometimes additional needs. Finally, we believe that in partnership with parents and the wider community, we will help the child reach their full potential.”

THE MONTESSORI METHOD

The Montessori Method of education was pioneered by Maria Montessori, a doctor who opened her first school in 1907. Through her work with children, she devised educational material which was successful in developing children’s intelligence as well as their physical and social abilities. Her philosophy and methods have been recognised and proven worldwide for over 80 years. The Montessori classroom is known as the ‘prepared environment’ and contains educational materials for the growth and development of every child, as each classroom has children of mixed abilities. The teacher is flexible and responsive in observing children’s interactions and reactions. The teacher then is able to respond positively and constructively by making necessary changes in the environment to suit the children’s needs. At Happydays Montessori, we draw on the huge amount of material available to plan specific programmes designed to meet the needs of children attending the Montessori class. The materials allow for holistic learning and discovery, offering a wide range of intellectual challenges.

Our Curriculum Statement

At Happy Days Montessori our wish for each child is that they are happy, confident and sociable. To attain this, we encourage all children to reach developmental milestones and gain basic life skills by working under framework of Aistear and Síolta. All Staff accomplish this by communicating with children at their level. Staff actively listen and work in partnership with parents in building caring warm trusting relationships with the children in our care.

The fundamentals we work off are ‘respect for each child and their culture’.

Happy Days recognises that play is children’s work and is shaped by planned and unplanned experiences, which are age appropriate. We identify and expand on the children’s emergent interests and develop learning in a fun, interactive and imaginative way. We share these learning experiences with the other children and encourage friendships and build peer relationships.

Environments ‐ Play ‐ Organisation ‐ Identity and Belonging.

Parents and Families ‐ Curriculum ‐ Professional Practice ‐ Legislation and Regulation.
