Scoil Phádraig Drumkeen
Where Smart Steps Began in 2015
Smart Steps began at Scoil Phádraig, Drumkeen, in September 2015.
What began as a response to local family need has grown into the trusted, structured childcare service Smart Steps is today.
Since then, we have supported hundreds of children through play, creativity and daily routines in a safe and familiar school environment.
We continue to work closely with school leadership and the Board of Management so that our service reflects the school’s ethos, policies and safeguarding standards.
