About Us

PLACE OF CURIOSITY, AWE AND WONDER

Welcome!

Welcome to Lux Curiosity Club, where the journey of learning and growth never ceases to amaze and inspire. For over a decade, we have served as a cornerstone of innovation and nurturing in childcare, evolving from the cherished Lux Children’s Club into what we are today. Our transformation was fueled by a commitment to the Curiosity Approach Philosophy, a modern pedagogy influenced by renowned educational methodologies including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Steiner, as well as Te Whariki and Aistear- the Irish National Framework.

At Lux Curiosity Club, we pride ourselves on being a toy-free service. Here, traditional toys make up no more than 10% of our resources. Instead, our environment is rich with open-ended materials, recycled items, authentic objects, and natural materials. This innovative approach not only fosters imagination, creativity, and curiosity but also instills a profound respect for sustainability and love for our planet. We believe that by embracing these values, we are contributing to a sustainable future and imparting the essential virtues needed for a better world.

Our service is designed to feel like a second home, where every child is valued, heard, and respected. This nurturing approach is deeply rooted in the latest insights from neuroscience, developmental psychology, behavioral psychology, and empirical research studies. We are dedicated to understanding and supporting each child’s unique journey through their formative years.

Join us at Lux Curiosity Club, where we prepare our children not just for school, but for life. Together, we are building a community where curiosity leads to continuous discovery and learning.

We cannot express how proud and happy we are about your reviews. Your satisfaction and the feeling that we are doing our job well are our greatest rewards.

    Lux Playschool is such an incredible asset to have on our doorstep in Moate, I feel very lucky my kids got to go here. Maryna and her staff ensure an environment of fun, kindness and learning with such ease. My children run into their arms … More and the festival style grounds with great excitement. The ethos of the playschool is such that any child would be happy exploring the outdoors or playing with the many interesting objects indoors. I've been amazed how much the kids have grown emotionally, socially and intellectually by attending but most of all I've been amazed to watch my kids be so nurtured and cared for by the staff of Lux. I'll be forever grateful for my family's experience here and can't recommend enough.

    My little girl started in August 2023, from quiet, anxious girl she became very confident and never stops chatting, latley even to strangers! Girls at Lux are fantastic, honestly couldn't even imagine a better care for my child. Always … More patience, always there to listen and talk with children and adults.
    She is on holidays now but every day asks to go to school. We can't wait for her second year to start!

    Our son joined Lux at the beginning of May 2023, in these short few weeks we have seen him transform into a confident, capable independent young boy who has just graduated and is heading into Junior Infants. The Management and staff are … More friendly, loving, professional and fill the children's day with learning and fun, each and everyday and the best part is that the children are outdoors! Embracing nature and learning through exploration and play! The activities planned are based solely from interactions and observations from the children and their needs!
    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any parent to send their child to Lux it's a place where magic and wonder come alive!

    My boy is constantly encouraged to be independent while also being helped and looked after to such a high standard along the way.
    He can completely be himself and looks forward to school every morning.
    A fantastic preschool with an approach
