Scoil Sinéad believes that the journey of learning begins long before primary school.
While we do not directly operate Early Years or preschool settings, we work closely with HOPE Autism Care Centre and our network of sister schools to ensure that every child – including those with additional needs – has access to a nurturing and inclusive early childhood experience. This partnership is guided by Ireland’s Aistear and Síolta frameworks, ensuring quality early childhood education and care.
Through this collaboration, families benefit from the same values that guide all Scoil Sinéad schools: care, inclusion, and respect for each child’s individuality.
Children learn through play, exploration, and meaningful interaction, supported by highly trained staff who understand early development and neurodiversity.
Our partnership with HOPE ensures that children with autism and other developmental differences are supported from the very start – building confidence, communication, and curiosity that prepare them for success in both mainstream and special class settings.
Together, Scoil Sinéad and HOPE are creating a seamless pathway from early years to primary education, ensuring that no child is left behind and every family feels supported from the very beginning of their child’s journey.
