A very special montessori

My daughter went to ELMS for her ECCE and loved every second. There was always something different happening, and she still talks about the hatching butterflies and the friends she made there.
Christine, Zurana, Bev and Laura (I hope I haven’t left anyone out) gave my daughter the best start to her education and I’m delighted I chose ELMS.

Best decision we ever made

Best decision we ever made! Our son absolutely loves going in there everyday. He loves telling us all about his day and how much fun he had. He loves every single one of the staff in there. They are always so kind and caring and extremely knowledgeable. Your meet every drop off and collection with a smile from all the staff. The communication from them is brilliant. We get pictures everyday of the kids and what they have done and learned and even the reports we get at term are so detailed they miss nothing. I would highly recommend sending your children there. Thanks so much. Christine, Laura, Zurane, Ciara, Teresa and Beverly x

Kilcullens hidden gem

Kilcullens hidden gem , I cannot speak highly enough about this Montessori. From the first day my daughter has loved everything about this place, she skips in everyday. The teachers are so kind and caring and Christine is the nicest Lady.

A kind, safe and nurturing environment

Christine and the team at ELMS are such kind, caring people. When the Montessori preschool more local to me was to close its doors halfway through my son's ECCE, Christine couldn't have been more welcoming and open. The rooms were beautifully presented, with plenty of materials and resources set out in dedicated spaces for the children.

My son ended up transitioning with a larger group of children from his first Montessori, to complete his second ECCE year at ELMS with his pals. The transition was smoother than I could ever have imagined, with Christine and the team visiting the closing Montessori before they left that setting, and inviting their former teachers to their graduation - such a special nod to their combined learning experience.

The ELMS ladies all helped the new group settle in such a reassuring way, we had nothing to fear - they were in experienced, child-focused hands. I would happily recommend ELMS as an early years service for any preschooler - Kilcullen is lucky to have such a great preschool in the town.

The Elms Montessori

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Elms. Both our kids have attended here.
The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely invested in each child’s development. They create a safe, nurturing environment where my kids were and are excited to go to everyday.
To any parent, trying to pick a Montessori, I cannot recommend the Elms enough.

Wonderful place of learning.

All of my 3 children have attended the ELMS since 2018 to the present day. My youngest little girl still attends she is now 5 years old with additional needs. I cannot recommend the ELMS highly enough. The care, attention and unconditional love that all my 3 children have recieved in the ELMS has been second to none.

Christine and her team in the ELMS are really gifted and are geniunely interested in your child progressing and reaching their full potential before setting off on their journey to big school.

The parents and people of Kilcullen are very lucky to have such an amazing pre-school/Montessori like the ELMS in their town.

I could not recommend ELMS enough

I could not recommend ELMS enough, my older daughter was with them for 3 years and my youngest daughter is doing her first year with them now. It is not just a job for the girls, they genuinely love what what they do and care so much for the children. You can see this with all the happy smiles on the kids faces going in each morning

The ELMS is the most wonderful…

The ELMS is the most wonderful Montessori school and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool for their child.
The staff are incredible. They are kind, friendly, welcoming and put the child’s needs first. They observe the child’s interests and develop their skills by providing suitably challenging activities.
There is lots of communication to parents and photos were sent regularly so I knew what sort of things my daughter was doing.
The ELMS is a fantastic preschool setting where children thrive and develop to their full potential.

ELMS Montessori is simply an excellent place for children to grow and thrive!

ELMS Montessori is simply an excellent childcare setting. The staff are incredibly calm, kind, and highly professional. They are well prepared to support all children - with different needs, personalities, and temperaments, whether they are shy, energetic, younger or older.

The rooms are spacious, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully organised so everything is accessible to the children. It always felt like a welcoming and positive environment.

I genuinely enjoyed bringing my daughter Ella here every day. As someone who is also studying and working in childcare, I often came to the team for advice, ideas, and support, and I always received far more than I expected!

I will always recommend ELMS Montessori to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and high-quality early years setting!!! Love you, girls!!!

An Amazing Montessori

An amazing Montessori, we knew from stepping in the door that it was the place we wanted to send our then 3 year old to. A gentle , loving environment, both from staff to children & parents, the joy of teaching shines through. Every item/ activity/ toy in Montessori has an educational purpose. The sessions are action packed and well planned in advance with a theme carrying through the week. Can't recommend The Elms highly enough.

Best early childhood around

Christine and the girls at ELMS are brilliant. I had my two boys there and they had a super foundation for learning that helped them thrive at primary school. One boy is in 3rd class and the other is in 1st and they remember ELMS foundly. Would not send my children anywhere else
