Crescent Hill Pre-school & After School, situated on the grounds of Scoil Naomh Padraig primary school in Ballyroan, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, provides comprehensive childcare services for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years. Founded over two decades ago in September 2000 by Deirdre and Louise, who both brought substantial experience in working with children to this endeavor, Crescent Hill stands as an integral part of the school community, despite its separate status. The proximity to the primary school benefits pre-school children by acquainting them with their future school environment, easing their transition. For parents of afterschool children, it ensures the safety of their kids as they stay within the school premises post-school hours, offering the convenience of a one-stop location for morning drop-offs when dealing with multiple children..

The staff at Crescent Hill are a seasoned team with years of experience, first aid training, and qualifications in childcare that range from FETAC level 5 to an honors degree in Early Childhood Care & Education. They hold a strong commitment to the well-being of every child under their care, creating a nurturing and supportive environment to enhance children’s self-confidence, explore their interests, and improve their social skills..
