Little Smarties

I have sent all four of my children to Little Smarties over the last five years. I visited approximately ten other montessori schools before choosing Little Smarties. It was immediately evident that this was different on many levels- the pupil teacher ratio, the highly personalised approach to each child’s needs and personality, the level of professionalism, but most importantly of all in the kindness, patience and care displayed towards all the children.

We are delighted that our little girl Ava settled in Little Smarties a year ago. Sarah is amazing with children and she has made a ‘home away from home’ for Ava. Sarah’s attention to detail is fantastic and we are so thrilled that Ava is so happy to go to ‘Sarah’s’ everyday. She has grown so much in confidence and that is down to Sarah and her wonderful team.

We don’t know how to thank Sarah enough for the 2 years our son, Marc, was under her care. Sarah is very professional in keeping up with the Montessori program and, being a mother of 4, is also committed to teaching her class good manners. Marc was always very happy going to school and really enjoyed the interaction with Sarah and the other children. He always came back knowing something new, for example, counting to 10 in Irish. The facilities are ideal. Classes are held in a bright room, nicely equipped with child-friendly tables an chairs. Sarah was always helpful in giving advice about any issue around parenting. But the real reason we were so happy and relaxed to send Marc to Little Smarties was the fact that the small group and Sarah’s enthusiasm made the school feel like a 2nd home to all of us.
