In 2014, Sherpa Kids Ireland started with the purpose of supporting families, schools and our communities by offering an affordable, safe and playful environment for children before and after school. As parents ourselves, we knew exactly how it felt knowing our children were happy, safe and well looked after and we wanted to reach out to as many parents who needed a service such as ours, to feel this way too. There’s no better feeling knowing our children are cared for and there’s also no better feeling when the children are having so much fun, they don’t even want to leave!

At Sherpa Kids Ireland, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who is part of keeping our purpose alive, ten years later. We thank our managers, our programme coordinators and assistant programme coordinators for your devotion to making a difference in our children’s lives as well as supporting their families, their schools and their communities. We thank our families and school for giving us a chance and for supporting us.

Most importantly, we thank our children for teaching us how to be playful and present in everything you we do. If anything, our greatest researchers we have found in the development of Sherpa Kids over the years, have been with our children and we are devoted to continue to hear them, see them and learn from them, so we make their world and the world around them a better place.

Here’s to another decade!
