Babies learn by interacting directly with the world through all their senses.
These gatherings offer a space for babies 3 to 12 months, to move spontaneously in a safe, well planned environment, appropriate for their age.
Sufficient, undisturbed time is required for babies to discover what their body can do and the possibilities for movement. Understanding of their world is gained as they explore more.
For parents/carers is a time to sit back and relax, while learning to observe your chid more closely and trust their innate wisdom. There will also be time for sharing, learn from each other, discuss topics of interest and concern, and look at different aspects of respectful parenting.

As well as a training in Steiner/Waldorf Education, she holds a master’s in Early Childhood Education from the University of Galway and has studied extensively at the Pikler Institute in Budapest, which focuses on respectful care of infants up to the age of 3.

Part of our vision, when we decided to build our center in Raheen Woods, was to connect with our neighbours from the adjacent Raheen Nursing Home.
We felt there is a connection between these two very vulnerable ages: the young children and the elderly. Years ago the younger children were, in many homes, left to the care of the grandparents. Things have changed for many of these children and elderly people whom, more and more, have been pulled away form each other and placed in care centers.We feel children, need the moral richness that exudes from the elderly as the elderly need to feel the miracle of life that expreses, so purely, in the young children.
Two years ago with the help of LEADER, we started the development of an Intergenerational Garden that is now open to the children and our elderly neighbours. We also received a donation from TOMAR to build a pavilion (Tom & Mary Circle of Life Pavilion), that could serve as shelter and a siting are for everyone and. Once that s was completed by Silvabuild (experienced carpenter on children’s playgrounds), this in September 2021 we avail of the expertise of Caherhurley Nurseries to plant our flower garden.
A garden is an alive organism, an ongoing project but for now we can say we have successfully finished what we started.
