Butterfly Room
From ages 2 – 3 years old
Individualized care
The Butterfly room is for children aged 2-3 years and is a very busy and fun room.In this room we begin to prepare the children for pre-school where they have a daily routine and there is a structure to the day. We follow a play based curriculum following the principles of Aistear and Síolta. The Butterfly room is divided into areas; The Home Corner: The Block Area: The Art Area: & The Book Area. The children are toilet trained in this room and similarly to the other rooms this room is also self contained where they have their own toileting facilities. We provide activities during play time that are based on the children’s interests. The routine is flexible for example if the weather is nice the children can stay outside for longer! Children are offered Art & Crafts, Jigsaws, board games, a well stocked block area, a wide variety of books that are age appropriate and visually eye catching and colourful. The Daily Routine for the Butterflies is as follows:
- 8:00-9:30 Welcome children
