Tr na Sí Farm opened our purpose built Preschool and Daycare in September 2023.
This is a unique early years facility situated on our 20 acre farm with access to a wealth of indoor and outdoor resources as well as a range of farm animals.
Time spent outdoors is recognised as a fundamental right for children and is crucial for children’s mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. It provides opportunities for them to develop essential and educational life skills such as independence, problem solving, teamwork and creativity.
Irelands first 5 strategy for Early years care and education specifically acknowledges the importance of play and time spent outdoors, and that children need the space, time and freedom to engage in self directed play, and that play is essential, particularly in developing cognitive and social skills and promoting neurological development.
