Forbairt Naíonraí Teoranta
Our Aims

This website is an on-line resource for people who are interested in preschooling through the medium of Irish. Amongst other things , you can locate a Naíonra, look at the resources available to buy as well as useful articles/information.
What is a Naíonra?
A Naíonra is a playgroup for children who come together daily (usually for 2-3.5 hours) in a pleasant, cheerful and safe environment, under the guidance and supervision of a Naíonra Leader. It is run solely through the medium of Irish. The staff structures the environment to ensure that all facets of the child's holistic development are catered for, while giving the child the opportunity to acquire Irish naturally through the medium of play, which is this particular age group's chief method of learning.
