Learning Should be Fun…

Fun is at the heart of everything we do at Little Harvard, for good reason - making learning fun and thoroughly enjoyable plays a vital role in forming children’s perception of education for the remainder of their lifetimes. Not only will your child learn more through our unique blend of learning and laughter, but their work will also form a lasting, healthy appreciation of education and an inherently deep regard for knowledge.

The Little Harvard Donabate Team are expertly trained and supported, as in every Little Harvard school, to guide your child on their early learning journey, in a safe, friendly environment – with tons of fun along the way. While it is never easy to watch your little ones grow up, it is truly the most fulfilling journey to witness. That is why we do what we do, and it is why we provide all the support your child needs to laugh, learn, make friends, and reach their full potential.

 Little Harvard Brand Promise

We started Little Harvard over 20 years ago because we had a vision for the future of childcare - one where each child is treated as an individual, and where they receive a quality of care that rises to meet every one of their needs.

    My son's been attending little Harvard for 2 years. The premises and playground out then back is first class. The teachers are absolutely super. I've recommended to anyone I know needed a creche or preschool. We are all very happy with it, especially my son now 3. 😊

  • Kieara l. -

    A fantastic creche with amazing staff. They absolutely go above and beyond and I don't say that lightly. My daughter has attended here since it's opening in 2008 and we have always been extremely delighted with their personal approach to the caring of the kids there and I would recommend it to anyone considering a creche for their child.

  • Andrew J.

    Can't fault the care and dedication all the staff have for the children here. We had 2 children go through from baby through to after school and the love, care and attention they received was excellent. Thanks to everyone for caring for our little ones.
