Promoting Citizenship in our school
We are particularly proud of the high level of interaction that exists between our school and the wider community. Whenever possible, we strive to support community events and we foster a high level of community involvement. It is through these initiatives that we foster a sense of “pride of place” in the locality. The following are some examples:
An Scoil Beag
Welcome to An Scoil Beag Montessori Pre-school here at St Colmcille’s National School, The Quay. We have built our passion for excellence in childcare and preschool education since Mairead first established An Scoil Beag Montessori in 2005.
Our guiding principle is that you and your child need to know at all times that they are in a caring, loving environment, surrounded by attentive staff committed to providing the very best of education and care.
To ensure every day is a great day for your child, staff create activities that combine both learning and fun where children are encouraged to explore, learn and develop at their own pace through a variety of play and daily activities.
