What we do We operate a Play Based Curriculum which provides for the needs of the whole child, i.e. physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social. This is based on the theory that play is the most natural and effective way a child learns and develops. Each child’s needs are individual and unique and are met through careful observations on an ongoing basis with the provision of a range of materials, activities and experiences.
Mission StatementThe Mission Statement of Butterflies Community is to aid the development of the child through Identity and Belonging, Communication, Well-being and Exploring and Thinking (Aistear curriculum) in a caring and child friendly environment, working in partnership with parents, guardians, families and the relevant agencies.

Thanks for all your hard work, it is much appreciated." Meave "Playgroup was a new thing to me because it was my first child and I found the teachers so friendly and welcoming to me and my daughter from her first day at Butterflies. She loves it and is extremely fond of her teachers and she will miss them a lot when she leaves this year." Sharon " It was a pleasure bringing my child every morning. It was an enjoyable experience for both me and my child and I want to thank you all, Lynda, Fionnuala and Rita." Patrick | ||||||||
