Early Years Education & Care
Fledglings Early Years Education & Care was established in 2008 in response to the critical lack of high quality early years places in Tallaght West. The Fledglings initiative was born as part of An Cosán’s not-for-profit enterprise to meet this need. An Cosán has always been committed to enterprise as one of the foundations from which the organisation serves the community.
High-quality early years education for children is essential if they are to achieve their full potential in primary and secondary education and in later life. At Fledglings, we aim to provide high quality, affordable early years education and care for the children. We train our educators in the implementation of the HighScope curriculum.
The HighScope approach adopted by Fledglings is academically proven to have significantly better outcomes for children. The fact that parents are themselves able to take up further training or employment is a positive side-effect; the real benefit lies in the intrinsic value of the early education that the children receive.
Fledglings now has eight services based in Tallaght West, Cabra, Whitehall and Dublin city.
