About
We help children engage their bodies and minds through fun and educational activities.
Our Place Preschool was established in 2014 to complement the thriving St Columba’s school and parish community. “We feel so blessed to be part of such a lively and loving community” say centre owners Kelly and Jill. The preschool enjoys strong links to the school and church and share in school productions, sports days, celebrations and masses which enrich the pre-schoolers lives.
Consequently, the children are very familiar with the school and the addition of a robust transition to school programme means a happy and confident start to school life.
