About Us

Roots & Wings, Beverton Preschool and Roots & Wings Kindergarten all fall under the umbrella of Muintir Childcare. Each service follows a child-lead, emergent interest based approach that reflects the pedagogical practices of Reggio Emilia throughout both the indoor and outdoor environments.

Evidence based practice has shaped the environment, the curriculum and the pedagogical approach at Muintir Childcare. Our team are consistenty looking for new ways to adapt our practice and upskill to keep up with new and emerging ideas in the sector.
