Hear from our Wonderful Parents
Junior Genius is an incredible crèche that appreciates children for exactly who they are. ✨💙 They provide an inclusive and safe space for my children and always encourage them to shine at their own pace.
The staff are wonderful and I'm so thankful my children have such kind and supportive teachers helping them to learn and grow.🌻
Best decision we ever made!
Amy Conlan
Harry attended JG for his two ECCE years. The teachers were phenomenal at all aspects of their jobs. Nothing was ever too much, and they always went above and beyond. Harry went in every day smiling, and the girls prepared him so well for Junior Infants. All the staff, including managers, look after the kids with genuine care. We are so lucky Harry’s little brother Ollie gets to join the JG family in September 2025.
Lisa Mescal
Since 2016, Junior Genius has been our family’s backbone. As a single mam, finding a safe place where my child feels loved was my priority, and JG exceeded my expectations. It became a home away from home, giving my kids the best start in life. We are very lucky to have such an amazing, trustworthy, and caring facility close to home.
Leanne McNally
I’ve been so lucky to have all 4 of my children attend Junior Genius, starting from 9 months through to afterschool. The level of care matches that of a mammy, which is truly special. Each child has had only positive experiences—“a full day play zone” in their words. I dread the day they outgrow JG; it feels like family.
Rachel Lynch
In choosing Junior Genius, it was the ethos, outdoor spaces, and forest preschool that appealed to my sister. She couldn’t have known how important JG would become in her girls’ lives, especially after her passing. The team has been phenomenal—nurturing, supporting, and loving them with compassion and understanding. Their kindness and care have been a profound comfort to our family, for which we are eternally thankful.
