The curriculum we work at Hi-5 Childcare is play based and our planning is underpinned by Aistear best practice. We also ensure that we work based on Siolta quality framework.

Aistear is the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework for children from birth to six years in Ireland. It describes learning and development through four interconnected themes – well-being, identity & belonging, communicating and exploring & thinking. Aistear’s curriculum focuses on different aspects of pedagogy and describes how the adult can support children’s learning and development across the four themes.

The children will have an opportunity to unwind in a relaxed, happy, safe and fun, home from home environment.
