Montessori schools and preschools in Dublin

Montessori schools, preschools, playschools and naíonraí across Dublin, listed by area, with free ECCE preschool hours explained.

This page lists every Dublin service on CrecheFinder that describes itself as a Montessori school, preschool, playschool or naíonra, or that offers sessional (half-day) preschool care: 170 services in 82 areas, 63 of them Montessori. Many full-day creches also run a Montessori or preschool room, so they appear here too.

Most preschools in Ireland offer the free ECCE programme: 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 38 weeks, for children who are 2 years and 8 months by 31 August (Citizens Information). Our ECCE guide explains who is eligible in 2026/27 and what a preschool can charge.

“Montessori” describes a teaching approach, and services use the word in their own name and description. Listings come from public registers and directories. To see what a service’s last inspection found, read its Tusla report (how to find and read one). Sessional preschools have their own adult-to-child ratio; see creche ratios in Ireland.
