Make a difference in your community

Sherpa Kids is about much more than just school age childcare.

We have an unwavering commitment to ensure every day is exceptional and our sole purpose is to support Ireland’s families. We strive to make a positive difference in each child’s life by shaping our programmes around a child-led approach. The impact our consistent programmes can have on children is more positive outcomes, promoting social and emotional competency through enrichment, play, nurture, and nutrition. Together, we will provide a service that reaches out and engages with your families and challenges your pupils to reach new heights.

A service as unique as your school

What we do

We provide a comprehensive, tailored solution designed to cater to your school’s unique needs. Whether it’s starting the morning with activities in our Before School, After school or during school closures offering our Holiday Programmes, our purpose is clear: ensure that every day is exceptional for children, families and school communities, whether is offering flexibility, continuity, and affordability, or enabling parents to return to work or pursue education, we are dedicated to making a positive impact!

Our approach begins with attentive listening and understanding of the diverse needs of everyone involved. Leveraging our extensive array of inclusive physical, well-being, creative, and play-based activities, we develop programmes and services delivered in-school and/or within the local community by our expert teams. We take pride in our enduring school partnerships, working closely with educational institutions to keep children at the core of every decision we make.

Our Breakfast Clubs are designed to ready children’s minds and bodies for the busy school day ahead. Conveniently located at your school, we provide a solution for busy families, allowing them to drop off their children early. This ensures a calm and focused start to the day with engaging activities that stimulate children’s well-being, accompanied by a nutritious breakfast to keep their energy levels high throughout the day.

Our After-School Programmes deliver an innovative approach to school age childcare at your school. This means that children will be with their peers and in familiar surroundings, giving parents the peace of mind that comes with having no pick-up or drop off to worry about during your working day. Our After School Programmes offer fun, happy, safe places for children to make new friendships, play freely and take part of activities that will boost their personal skills and unique talents.
