    Quality Childcare You Can Trust
    Whether it’s inside or outside, each of our centres has been designed to make the children ‘feel at home. The first thing you notice about Helga’s Preschool is just how homely it feels, and that sense of being part of the local community is everywhere you look – from supporting local events to becoming the best of friends with the other preschoolers!

  • How to Enroll Your Child to a Class?

    • Outdoor Play

      Each of our Pre Schools is designed to be a home from home and services delivered to the highest standards.

      We have large outdoor play areas. With a large range of outdoor play equipment, children love their time in Helga’s Preschool Garden.

      Here the children play house, football and a range of other sports on a regular basis.

    • ECCE Scheme

      HELGA’S Preschool children who participate in our ECCE programme experience a developed and broad range of learning experiences & are more prepared to deal with the demands placed on them at school.

      They are also confident, capable and independent learners and Irish Primary School teachers welcome this.

    • Facilities

      Our Schools are located in Balbriggan & Balscadden.

      Our management team works to support the managers and carers at each of our locations.

      That support includes curriculum development, facilities management, performance management and training.

      This allows our preschool team to focus on looking after the needs of children.

    • Aistear curriculum

      Aistear curriculum focuses on supporting and facilitating children to develop and learn in well-developed play settings with carefully planned areas of interest for each age group.

      At Helga’s Preschool, every child has their own personal Aistear book and this documents all of their activities and their progress to date. This way parents can have access to their child’s journey at preschool and can stay informed of their learning and achievements.

      The Aistear books also act as a record for our teams, so that they can monitor each child’s development and demonstrate how the Aistear goals are being fulfilled at every stage.
