About Our Service

Knocklyon Lodge offers a full-day childcare programme designed to support the holistic development of young children. Our programme includes:

• Early Years Care & Education - tailored for children aged 1 to 6 years
• Free ECCE Preschool - a structured early learning experience under the ECCE Scheme
• School-Age Childcare – for children who attend Naoinra Chnoc Liamhna, Gaelscoil Chnoc Liamhna, St. Colm Cills Junior and Senior Schools, Scoil Carmel and Scoil Treasa.
• Play-based learning that encourages curiosity, creativity and confidence
• Warm, secure spaces both indoors and outdoors designed for exploration and discovery

We believe that the early years lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Our approach is centred around supportive relationships, intentional play, and meaningful interactions that help each child flourish.

Our Approach to Learning

Knocklyon Lodge reflects the wider Tigers Childcare philosophy of child-centred, research-informed practice - where every child’s voice, strengths and interests are valued.

Our educators:

• Build strong relationships with children and families
• Use play, exploration and guided learning experiences
• Support social, emotional, cognitive and physical development
• Encourage independence, confidence and curiosity

We also work in partnership with families to ensure that your child’s experience is consistent, supportive and joyful from day one.

We look forward to welcoming your family to Knocklyon Lodge - where children learn, grow and thrive together.
