ECCE Places At Orahova Montessori

The bould Rita… FRI27JUNE25

ure, it’s only natural that a parent would want to love, cherish and very much protect their precious offspring.

To make sure that they have all the best things in life, and grow up healthy, happy and full of magic.

Which is why so many Greystones parents have been sending their little loved ones to Charlesland Montessori for the past 31 years.

Its popularity is largely down to the mighty Rita Byrne, who is not only a mother of two but, hey, a St Nicholas Montessori teacher who has qualifications in childcare, psychology, medical care and beyond.

Believing in the small home-like créche rather than the traditional supersized variety, Rita actually has three Charlesland Montessori HQs around the town – in Charlesland Park Montessori, Charlesland Park Nursery and Orahova down at Shoreline Leisure Centre.

In the Park, service is provided 51 weeks a year, from 7.30am to 6.30pm, for babies from 11 months, toddlers and Montessori to school starting at 4/5 years of age.

In the Grove, it’s 51 weeks a year, from 7.30am to 6.30pm, with Montessori 2½ to 4/5 years of age and with Breakfast and Afterschool Club for kids aged 4 to 13 years (aka Junior Infants to 6th class), whilst at Shoreline, it’s 38 weeks a year, from 9.15am to 12.45pm for 2½ to 4/5 years of age. More details here.

As of summer 2026, Rita and co have immediate start Orahova Montessori ECCE and pre-ECCE places for kids 2 years and 4 months onwards. Children have access to two classrooms, a Montessori room and a play room each day, plus a very large outdoor area for exploring and adventure play.

For September 2026, there are Orahova Montessori ECCE and pre-ECCE places for kids 2 years and 4 months onwards. National Childcare Scheme accepted.
