Fidelma Ní hUallacháin

I am the owner and manager of Naísciol Chloch na gCoillte. I am passionate about my job which I am in because I love being surrounded by my little Scallywags, which I grow to know and love over their time spent with us.  It gives me great joy to hear their funny stories and ideas, to enjoy their personalities, their innocent outlooks, their zest for knowledge, their sense of adventure and humour, the list goes on.  I want to provide an educational day for them through fun and play, in a fun and sti mulating environment, on a daily basis.  I feel strongly about maintaining a fun, positive, friendly relationship with staff to create a warm, welcoming, happy environment for us all.  I strive to ensure that all children have the best education, care and love that can be provided. I strongly believe that a healthy, friendly, welcoming, approachable relationship with parents is of extreme importance. I also like to ensure that my continued professional development is maintained.

I am fully qualified with a Degree in childcare.  I feel it is important to up-skill, hence I engage in various different courses yearly.

Her presence brightens up the environment and spreads happiness wherever she goes.   The children love Mary and it is a pleasure to work alongside her
