Learning About The World
Why choose Sherpa Kids Ireland?
Safety
We ensure that our schools are safe and only accessible to authorised colleagues. Our Health and Safety policies and procedures can be viewed by you on site at any time. Our team members are all trained in a child protection through Tusla ® programme what can give you a piece of mind, your children are in safe hands.
Flexible
We believe flexibility that childcare solutions are very important for parents or guardians who do not need access to full time school age childcare. Our childcare model is built to suit your needs which means – whether it is a couple of hours on different afternoons or a whole week, you just pay and access exactly what you need for your child.
Social Value
We know that providing quality childcare has many positive side effects for the families we support. It also means with a service you can trust, you can get back to work, full or part time, return to education, or simply just have more time in your hectic schedule as a parent, knowing your child is safe and well cared for.
SHERPA KIDS IRELAND, OUR FAMILY SUPPORTING YOUR FAMILY
When your children are at a Sherpa Kids programme, you can feel rest assured that all our Sherpa Kids staff have:
RISE THEN SHINE
Before School
Situated onsite at your children’s school, we provide Rise then Shine (Before School) programmes enabling busy parents/guardians to drop off their kids early, ensuring they get a healthy and fulfilling breakfast in their own school environment to keep them energised through the day!
STAY AND PLAY
After School
Our Stay and Play (After School) programmes deliver an innovative approach to school age childcare on site at your child’s school. This means that your child is with their peers and in familiar surroundings, giving you the peace of mind that comes with having no pick-up or drop off to worry about during your working day.
HOLIDAY PROGRAMMES
At Sherpa Kids we understand the mis-match between the amount of holidays your child gets compared to the amount you have as a working parent. So to support parents, we offer extended holiday time care at as many schools that we can. Although it is not always feasible in every school, we can guarantee there will be Holiday Programme in a Sherpa Kids near you!
Free Play
Nurturing Ireland’s Teenagers Of Tomorrow
This really is a passion for us and one of the main drivers in our ambition to help nurture Ireland’s teenagers of tomorrow.
There is now significant research-based evidence demonstrating that undirected free play has profound benefits on your child’s development, growth and wellbeing.
It can boost their character and personality, promote their physical development, develop their brain and mind, teach them emotional and social skills and improve their academic performance. From the cognitive to the physical, research shows that undirected free play can allow children to gain greater self-confidence, promote neurological development, and even enhance their fine motor skills.
