Preschool at Fun Galaxy
The ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education) program is a government-funded initiative in Ireland designed to provide children with access to high-quality early education before they enter primary school. It aims to support children’s development in a structured, play-based learning environment, ensuring they are well-prepared for future learning.
The ECCE program is available to children from the age of 2 years and 8 months to 5 years and 6 months. It offers up to two years of Subsidised preschool education, helping to ease the financial burden on families.
Children are taught by trained early childhood educators who deliver a curriculum based on play, creativity, and exploration. The program emphasises learning through play, which supports cognitive, emotional, and social development in a natural and enjoyable way.
ECCE focuses on fostering a child’s overall development, including language, numeracy, motor skills, social interaction, and creativity. The curriculum is guided by the Aistear framework (the early childhood curriculum framework) and Síolta (the national quality framework for early childhood education), ensuring high standards of care and education.
By participating in the ECCE program, children gain a strong foundation for lifelong learning, setting them on a path toward academic success and personal growth.
Our ECCE preschool operates from 9am to 12.30pm Monday to Friday. Our fee is €89.00 per child per week. ECCE funding will apply provided your child is within the required age bracket. Eligibility can be checked here https://www.childcare.ie/ecce-calculator
Included in this, the children have 30 mins exclusive play in the play center as well as a healthy nutritious snack and a freshly prepared dinner/meal daily. We also provide all drinks for children. The remaining three hours are spent in the preschool classrooms where children can explore and learn through a stimulating environment.
