SLI BURCA CHILDCARE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Slí Burca Childcare CLG is a community‑run early years and after‑school provider dedicated to nurturing children’s natural curiosity and love of life. Operating under the National Childcare Scheme and the Community Childcare Subvention Plus, the centre offers a play‑based preschool for children from 2½ years, as well as part‑time after‑school care for youngsters up to 12 years.

The preschool runs each weekday morning, delivering a balanced programme of child‑directed play, fine‑ and gross‑motor activities and Aistear‑aligned learning experiences. In the afternoons, the after‑school service supports homework completion, offers creative arts, and provides a warm snack, with flexible drop‑in and full‑day options during school holidays. The curriculum blends free play, educator‑led sessions and child‑led projects, fostering confident, resilient global citizens who can communicate, co‑regulate emotions and develop strong relationships.

Based in the vibrant Knocknacarra area of Galway, Slí Burca Childcare creates an inclusive, supportive environment where families, educators and the wider community collaborate to enrich each child’s early learning journey.
