Details

Premises: Curious Minds pre-school is a purpose built pre-school on the grounds of St Patricks National School catering for up to 44 children on a daily basis.
Indoor Environment:
Our indoor environment reflects our preschools goal that children are healthy and safe and provides a developmentally appropriate environment that continually invites childrens initiative and active exploration of materials. Materials are well organised and physically within reach to enable children to really find and use them.
Outdoor Environment

We have two outdoor learning environments the playground with fixed equipment and lots of space for running, jumping and riding our bikes. In 2012 we were allocated NCIP Capital Grant for a Discovery Garden where children experience nature and all its wonders on a daily basis. Our Discovery Garden contains a play hut, wild bird area, herb garden, bamboo tunnel, enclosed seating area, water feature, sand area, growing area, insect hotel and planted area . The area contains many natural and open ended materials to stimulate childrens senses.
So, our Discovery Garden is not just a place for children to release pent up energy or discover odd bugs: it is a total learning environment an open air annex to the playroom where many of the same concepts can be explored at considerably greater speed. Children continue to make choices, solve problems with materials, express feelings, pretend, build, move, sing, use language, write, make patterns, sort, and keep time as they did in the playroom. This facility is used daily and as the weather improves we have the opportunity to move all our activities outdoors if we wish.
As part of this funding we have purchased outdoor suits for every child so that our Irish weather will not prevent children experiencing outdoors on a daily basis.

We are notified to mayo Early Years Inspectorate HSE West and following our latest inspection carried out on the 14th of January 2013 are fully compliant on regulation 5 (health, welfare and development of the child). We are one of five services in Mayo participating in the Sìolta Quality Accreditation Process.
