Community Childcare Services

Safe, inclusive and supportive childcare for primary school children across Ballyhoura.

Ballyhoura Development manages and operates three Community Afterschool facilities for children of primary school age, in Caherconlish and Caherline in Co Limerick, and in Mitchelstown, Co Cork.

The after-school facilities provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment outside of school hours, where children can learn, play and develop in a positive and engaging setting. 

Services facilitated by the after-school facilities include:

  • Facilitated homework support in a calm and structured environment
  • Healthy snacks and an emphasis on positive eating habits
  • A range of recreational activities including arts, crafts and creative play
  • Sporting and outdoor activities that encourage movement and teamwork

If you would like to find out more about our services, check availability, or discuss enrolment, please contact Deirdre Dore at [email protected].
