🐣🌸 Easter Fun at Small World 🌸🐣

What a fantastic start to our Easter celebrations here at Small World Childcare!

Our Junior and Senior Pre-School children had a very special visit from the Easter Bunny 🐰✨ The excitement was unreal as we headed out for our egg hunt around the playground… and to our surprise, the Easter Bunny was waiting for us back in the classroom, chilling out with some delicious chocolate treats! 🍫💛

Week one of Easter Camp in Small World at Scoil Aodh Rua agus Nuala After School has been full of fun and adventure! From lots of creative Easter arts and crafts 🎨 to some tasty baking 🍪, the children have been busy and loving every minute. One of the highlights was our egg hunt in Rossylongan Woods 🌳🥚 We had the best time exploring with our friends, keeping an eye out for squirrels and wildlife as we searched for our yummy eggs!

We hope all our families have a lovely bank holiday weekend and a very Happy Easter 🐣💐

We can’t wait for even more fun next week! 🌈✨

Seachtain na Gaeilge in the Toddler Room

A huge thank you to Thérèse, Aoibh’s Mammy, for coming in to visit all of Aoibh’s friends in the toddler room as part of our Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations.

Thérèse taught the children some beautiful songs in our native Gaeilge and introduced them to the names of different animals, along with lovely nursery rhymes. The children really enjoyed the experience and it was such a special way to celebrate Irish language and culture within our setting.

Introducing Gaeilge to toddlers is so important, as it helps children develop an early awareness and love of our native language in a fun, natural, and meaningful way. Through songs, rhymes, stories, and play, young children begin to recognise words and sounds, build confidence, and connect with Ireland’s rich culture and heritage. Early exposure to Gaeilge helps make language learning enjoyable and supports communication, listening, and a sense of belonging from a very young age.

What a special morning we had on Monday at our Senior Pre-School Tea Party to celebrate International Women’s Day 💐☕
The children were so excited to invite the wonderful ladies in their lives, Mammies, Grannies, Nannies, aunties and other very special guests to join us for a lovely tea party in the classroom.

In the lead up to the day, the children worked so hard preparing for their visitors. They carefully decorated their own invitations and created the cutest short video clips explaining why the person they invited means so much to them. It was lovely to see their pride and hear their beautiful words ❤️

On the morning itself we enjoyed lots of smiles, chats, and some delicious treats together. It was a really meaningful way for the children to celebrate the amazing women who support and care for them every day.

A huge thank you to all the fabulous ladies who joined us — it meant the world to the children to have you there with them.
Be sure to check out the video attached for some super cute Friday feels! 🥰
