School life revolves around the belief that each child should be given every opportunity to develop to their full potential, to grow in self-confidence, experience success and thus develop a good self-image. This is achieved through genuine working links with parents with the free sharing of information and also a complete and thorough curriculum. We greatly welcome parents into our practice and place a strong value on home and school links. Parents can participate in school life, access workshops and courses and enjoy learning themselves. At Edenderry Nursery School your child will be encouraged to develop at their own rate in key areas of learning - social/emotional, language/communication, creative/aesthetic, mathematics, the world around us and physical skills. The school programme is enriched by visits outside the school and welcoming relevant guest speakers and experts to come in and meet our children. We value and enjoy strong community and cross-community partnerships.
