About Us

Welcome to Enquiring Minds

Welcome to our family-run school, a warm and nurturing home for your child's early education. Founded by Clare, a passionate educator with over 40 years of experience, we're dedicated to fostering a love for learning in every child. Our play-based approach emphasizes the fully immersive play experience that sparks imagination and joy in learning. Our journey began in 2008 with the opening of our first school in Clane, featuring five vibrant classrooms. Inspired by our success, we expanded our family with the Johnstown school in 2016 and the Prosperous school in 2018. Each location is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional childcare and education.

Our Philosophy

We understand the importance of early childhood development and strive to provide personalized attention to every child. Our play-based approach encourages exploration and discovery. At the heart of our crèche are our experienced teachers, each sharing Clare’s vision of prioritizing children in every aspect – care, experience, and education. We believe in continuously evolving our teaching methods, ensuring that your child receives the best education that adapts to the changing world. Join us, and let's nurture your child's curiosity and love for learning together!
