Little Monkeys offers a Play School and After School service in the Glasnevin, Finglas, Meakstown, Charlestown and Ballymun area. We started with one unit on Glasnevin Avenue before expanding to two directly across the road from us. We have been servicing families in the Dublin 11 and Dublin 9 region for over 7 years.
When we opened on Glasnevin Avenue in Finglas, the parents quickly took us into their hearts and have greatly supported us since. Our unique and creative based approach to early learning stimulates and engages the child in a fun and effective way.
We love investing our energy, time and passion into children and enjoy nothing more than watching and helping them in their development. So if you are looking for a playschool or after school in Finglas, Ballymun or Glasnevin. that helps your child grow into the wonderful person that they are, come to Little Monkeys Glasnevin.
Little Monkeys was founded in August 2013. As a mother of four, I wanted to combine motherhood with my enjoyment of seeing children learn, grow and progress while becoming ready to start “big school”.
We opened with 2 staff and availability for 11 children, but only five children enrolled, one of which was my own son. The business grew quickly and over the Easter holidays in 2017 we expanded to cater for 22 children and an extra staff member. With the business continuing to grow in 2017 we bought the premises across the road and established a setting for 30 preschool children and 22 afterschool children, and we now have a staff of 8.
My aim for all the children attending Little Monkeys is to work with them to make friends, develop skills, learn about the world and understand their emotions. I want them to leave us feeling happy, confident, and excited about what comes next.

Little Monkeys Playschool is a child-centred, play-based environment, where each child is supported and encouraged to have fun as they learn.
My two older children have been going to Little Monkeys for the last 5 years and it has been a really positive experience for both of them. Both have made lasting friendships there and have benefited from the great input from the workers as well as the environment – a fantastic outdoor space including room for climbing trees which has always been a favourite! Nowhere else have I found such a commitment from staff to the children’s development and welfare, and I would thoroughly recommend Little Monkeys to other parents.John & Clare O’Connor
My two kids went to Little Monkeys from the time that they were two and loved the play, the staff and the building. Now they are 11 and 9 they still go in the afternoons when I am working and love meeting up with their Little Monkeys friends and being allowed to get muddy. I am always impressed with the atmosphere of fun and exploration through play that the staff encourage in a safe environment. John and Jane Doe
The fact our daughter loves going to pre-school every day is testimony to Little Monkeys. The staff are always so warm and we love how they encourage the children to explore areas they are naturally interested in, and to have fun doing it. It’s such a lovely relaxed environment where the children can be themselves and where they also learn to respect each other. The outdoor facilities are fantastic, especially as we live in the city. A wonderful learning environment and a very special place. Mark & Jane Sloan
