ABOUT SCHOOLPLACES
Helping Dublin families find the right childcare place.
SchoolPlaces is a dedicated childcare marketplace connecting families with crèches, Montessori schools and other childcare providers across Dublin and surrounding areas. We make discovering options and potential availability simpler.
OUR STORY
It started with a parent's search.
Built from a parent's experience. Created to help other families.
SchoolPlaces was inspired by a parent's firsthand experience of trying to find a suitable crèche for their own child. Researching local options, contacting providers and understanding where places might be available proved more difficult and time-consuming than expected.
That experience inspired a simpler way to connect families searching for childcare with the providers serving their communities.
WHAT WE DO
Connecting both sides of the childcare search.
For Childcare Providers
Reach local families actively looking for childcare, increase your visibility, manage enquiries and better understand local demand through SchoolPlaces' provider services.
OUR MISSION
Making childcare discovery simpler and more connected.
We aim to reduce the time, uncertainty and frustration involved in finding childcare while helping providers make their services and potential availability easier to discover. We believe better information and easier connections can benefit families, providers and the communities around them.
OUR VISION
To become Dublin's go-to marketplace for finding childcare places.
Our ambition is to become the natural starting point for families looking for childcare across Dublin and surrounding areas — and a valuable connection point for childcare providers. Availability information may change, and SchoolPlaces does not guarantee a place.
