About Us

Situated on 21 acres of mature parkland on the site of the old Drumcondra Castle, The Learning Tree is Ireland's only fully integrated and inclusive Crèche. Inclusion means teaching all children together, regardless of ability level. We celebrate children's similarities as well as their different abilities and cultures. The children who attend The Learning Tree benefit from the unrivalled facilities available on site. We have indoor softplay, a heated indoor swimming pool, two playgrounds, a petting zoo, horses and a horticulture project. We cater for children from 3 months to 10 years in our Crèche, Montessori, and Afterschool programme.

The Learning Tree are delighted to offer the Free Pre-school year in Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE). This means that your child could qualify for free childcare for up to 3 hours a day during term time. If you have a baby, toddler, wobbler or young child and are interested in finding out more about The Learning Tree, we would love to hear
