KIDS KOTTAGE CARE & EDUCATION CENTRE LIMITED

Kids Kottage Care & Education Centre Limited is a purpose‑built early years facility situated on the Main Street in Tyrrellspass, Westmeath. Since opening in 2010, the centre has welcomed children from nine months up to six years, offering a secure, interactive environment where play and learning go hand‑in‑hand. All staff hold Level 6 FETAC qualifications or higher, are trained in first aid and manual handling, and many possess Level 8 degrees in their respective childcare fields, ensuring a high standard of professional care.

The centre provides a comprehensive suite of services, including pre‑school, full‑day child‑care and after‑school care. Its curriculum follows the Aistear Síolta framework and incorporates the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme, delivering programme‑based activities that prepare children for primary school. Families benefit from freshly cooked meals, accommodation for special dietary needs, and a walled garden for outdoor exploration. Flexible full‑time and part‑time enrolments are available, with a key‑worker system and Childpath software used to track each child’s progress and keep parents informed.

Kids Kottage also offers a range of early‑learner equipment for purchase, reinforcing the centre’s commitment to fostering development in a fun, safe, and nurturing setting.
