Parkside Childcare is the most established pre-school and crèche in Rathfarnham, proudly serving families in South Dublin for over 30 years. We offer high-quality childcare in Dublin, with full-time and part-time options, including ECCE-funded places.
We’ve supported generations of local families, providing a safe, caring, and consistent environment where children feel happy and confident.
Our “Empowering Play” curriculum, based on the Aistear Framework, is delivered by qualified early years educators. Learning through play is at the heart of everything we do.
Our private facility includes secure, age-appropriate classrooms, two large all-weather gardens, and a healthy food programme designed to support children’s growth and wellbeing.
What sets us apart is our experienced, long-standing team. Many of our educators have been with us for years, offering stability and peace of mind to parents looking for trusted childcare in Dublin.
