ENROLLING NOW- from September 2010 Balgriffin are launching their Montessori programme. Contact the centre for further information.

At Bright Horizons children learn and grow through our unique curriculum for learning, “The World at their Fingertips”. Through “World” children are empowered to become confident, active lifelong learners, supported by a highly trained and experienced staff team. The centre team are presently incorporating Aistear and Siolta the National Framework into their emergent curriculum.

The environments within the centre invite children to learn and to see a world of possibilities that are within their reach and our “Ready for School” programme helps children approach school with self help skills and confidence that will enable them to succeed.

Bright Horizons offer our “Growing Readers” programme as we realise the importance of Early Language Development for all our children.

The centre have been using signing with the babies and toddlers since they opened and have found this to be a valuable way of communication as the children can express their needs long before they have vocabulary skills to talk. The staff have received training and use it daily.
