BIG NEWS, BIG NEWS LITTLE SPARROWS AFTER SCHOOL CLUB AT ST. PHILIP THE APOSTLE JNS

6th Feb 2026

St Philip the Apostle has strived for a long time to provide excellent after school care to our school community. We are delighted to annouce the arrival of Little Sparrows as we know that this is the perfect fit we have been looking for, for our school community. A few words from the owner Edain Johnson. 

"Little Sparrows Afterschool is a locally owned, family-run service, rooted in the  community of Hartstown. We have provided both preschool and Afterschool for over 12 years now from the community center and St.Ciarans N.S. We are delighted to now offer Afterschool care from our neighbours in St.Phillips N.S    We provide a calm, caring environment that feels like a second home for children. Our approach is child-centred and family-focused. We work closely with parents to support each child’s emotional wellbeing, development, and sense of belonging  

We offer a warm, welcoming home-from-home setting and believe that supporting families is just as important as supporting children. Strong relationships, kindness, and care is at the heart of what we do. 

  Our Afterschool aims to provide a calm, enjoyable space where children can relax after school. We offer a mix of creative activities, games, and free play. This allows children time to unwind, connect with friends, and enjoy their afternoon in a caring, home-from-home environment.    Children will also receive homework help and hot/cold meal during their time in afterschool.    NCS subsidy rates available to all children who attend the Hour Club and Afterschool club. https://www.ncs.gov.ie/en/childcare-schemes/   Should you have any further enquiries or wish to meet with me, Edain, please feel free to contact me @ 083 4582457
