Tir Na Nog Childcare

For the past seven years, Tir Na Nog has been more than just childcare for our family—it has been a second home. Both of my children have grown, learned, and thrived here, and I can say without hesitation that the staff at Tir Na Nog have had a profoundly positive impact on their early years. From the very first day, I was struck by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that radiates from every member of the team. The teachers don’t just “watch” the children—they engage, encourage, and nurture them in a way that fosters both confidence and curiosity. Every interaction feels personal, intentional, and rooted in an understanding of each child’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve witnessed incredible consistency in the quality of care. Staff turnover is remarkably low, which speaks volumes about the supportive environment for both children and employees. My children were always greeted with smiles and enthusiasm, and I could leave for work each day knowing they were in loving and capable hands. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and free play. My kids have come home excited to share songs, stories, and projects, as well as newfound skills in problem-solving, cooperation, and empathy. Seasonal crafts, outdoor play, cultural celebrations, and age-appropriate academics are all seamlessly woven into their days. It’s clear the staff take pride in creating experiences that are both educational and joyful. The communication with families is also outstanding. I always felt informed about my children’s daily activities, developmental milestones, and any areas where they might need extra support. Whether it was a quick conversation at pickup, a thoughtful progress report, or daily social media posts regarding fun activities, the transparency and partnership between parents and staff have been invaluable. Most importantly, my children have loved going to Tir Na Nog. They’ve built friendships, developed independence, and learned important life skills in an environment that felt safe, nurturing, and fun. As my youngest now transitions out of childcare, we leave with full hearts and immense gratitude. If you’re searching for a place where your child will be treated as an individual, encouraged to explore, and cared for as if they were family, Tir Na Nog is that place. They have been an irreplaceable part of our lives, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent who wants the best start for their child. Thank you, Tir Na Nog, for seven wonderful years—you will always be part of our family’s story!

We cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention our family has received at Tir Na Nog! From day one, the staff made us feel welcomed and reassured, which is so important when entrusting others with your children—especially infants and toddlers. Our infant has flourished in the nurturing environment. The teachers are gentle, attentive, and always communicative about daily routines, feedings, and milestones. It’s comforting to know our little one is in such capable and loving hands. Our toddler absolutely loves school. The teachers do an amazing job balancing play, learning, and emotional development. We’ve seen incredible growth in language, social skills, and confidence. The structured activities and creative curriculum keep our child engaged and so excited to be at school every day! The facility is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate spaces and activities for both our our kiddos. The communication with the school has always been clear and responsive, which we really appreciate. TNN truly feels like a second home for our kids. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!

Our two daughters attended Tir Na Nog over the course of six years, and it was a truly wonderful experience for our family. The teachers and staff at TNN go above and beyond to care for the kids, and the small class sizes allowed our girls to get individual attention and learn in a comfortable, safe environment. Both of our daughters left TNN feeling confident socially and ready for Kindergarten. Perhaps my favorite part of TNN is their approach to learning. I always felt that they struck a great balance between play-based learning and covering ABCs and 123s. Learning was spread between play, art, music, and a worksheet here and there. My children started TNN at ages 2.5 and 1 y/o respectively. The teachers and staff were an extension of our family through all of the highs and lows of life through that time, and I would eagerly recommend TNN to any young family looking for a safe place for their kids to grow and learn.

Trustworthy and caring staff. We have had a great experience.

My son attended Tir Na Nog's preschool program for 6 months. The teachers were fine, but the administration was poor. The owner, Alison, was rude and difficult to deal with—one interaction with her was enough to leave a lasting negative impression. If your child is slightly sick, expect multiple calls, even if you are already en route. Overall, not a place I'd recommend.
