Our Services
Placing childvoice at the centre of Childcare
Before School Care
Our before school care service is an ideal solution for busy households with tight schedules in the morning. We offer a relaxed and engaging start to the day with jigsaws, board games and books, along with a nutritious breakfast. Our team will bring the children to meet their teachers, making mornings now stress free! See specific schools for opening times.
Junior Hour
Our team will collect your little people in Junior and Senior infants where they will engage in a range of free play activities where they can explore, experiment and create with their peers until the children from 1st to 6th class finish school. You have the option to pick up then or you can extend their day with their friends until later in the afternoon.
After School Care
Our after school care begins right after your child’s school day ends. We provide a safe space for the children to unwind, socialise with peers and choose their adventure. We believe students’ learning and wellbeing is best supported through a unique blend of structured and unstructured activities that are both active and engaging.
Child voice
We prioritize children's perspectives.
Decision making
Safety guides our choices.
Children safety
We ensure children's safety above all.
Inquisitive mind
Nurturing curiosity is central.
Fun and Social
Learning is fun and social.
Outdoors
Nature is our learning ground.
What we offer
Free Choice Open Play
We encourage children to follow their own instincts, imagination and interests. They are provided with a variety of games, toys, activities and resources and are given the freedom to choose their activities and play.
Activity Zones
Each day we set up activities and resources in a variety of areas; sport, lego, science, arts and crafts, drama, dance or yoga. The daily options are shared with the children and they can choose their favourite activity.
Homework & Education
We provide children with a designated time and space to complete homework tasks so they can get ahead or catch up! Should students have a homework free afternoon we have educational resources available should the students want to use them.
Our Approach
We employ a three tier approach to programming at Laochra Academy, which is designed to ensure active, engaging, fun and inclusive options are available, and which also responds to the preferences of students and parents, and compliments the schools own philosophy. Our emphasis is on allowing children to follow their own interests, make their own decisions, and take ownership of their experiences.
