After school
For school-age children at this service we provide the following services: Breakfast Club from 7.00 am

Full-time After School Care and camps during mid-term breaks and the summer holidays.
Our Breakfast Club is a service that allows children to come along in the morning and enjoy a nutritional breakfast with their friends before being dropped to local Schools.
At our After School, we offer fun-filled activities such as cooking, arts and crafts, and homework support.
Homework Policy
It is the policy of the Tyrrelstown’s Little Stars to provide a period each day for homework. Each child will get sufficient time to do their homework. Staff will contribute to a quiet relaxed atmosphere during homework sessions and encourage children to do the same and will be there to help children with their homework. However, staff will not be responsible for signing children’s homework as it is very important that parents check each child’s homework.
This session will be scheduled to take place directly after children have had their snack/meal.
Snack/Meal time is relaxed and leisurely to enable children to unwind, socialise and discuss daily events. We provided hot lunch (4 weeks menu) prepared by our Chef.
Unstructured Play time
Play supports children to explore their feelings, develop self-discipline and learn how to express themselves. Play has the potential to improve all aspects of children’s wellbeing: physical, emotional, social and cognitive is critical for all children at any stage. That’s why at Little Stars we provide safe, relaxing and enjoyable space for all children to make their own choices regarding their free play time. We give them opportunities to develop their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
Summer Camp
Our annual summer camp in July and August is full of fun fully supervised activities. Children from 3 years can attend the summer camp. We welcome any queries you may have regarding the summer camp staff will be on hand to answer your questions.
