Daisy Chain - Stepaside

Our Stepaside centre is at no 15 the Rectory , in the Rectory estate just two minutes from Stepaside village. We have been in this location since 2003, and in 2016 we extended our centre to create a larger Montessori classroom. 

We have an excellent reputation in the area and many of our parents are with us as their children progress through the age grades. Stepaside is our smallest centre, with three rooms, a  wobbler room, toddler room, and a Montessori classroom. 

The centre, being a converted house is very homely and cosy. We qualify for the ECCE scheme, the NCS scheme and our centre is TUSLA registered.

Stepaside Facilities

We have a lovely garden area for the children and the children get outside a minimum of twice per day. We also use the green right next to the centre for games and sports for the older children and most children go for walks with their carers around the estate. Get in touch below and we can chat.

Meet the Manager

Stepaside

My name is Rebecca, and I am the Centre Manager at Daisy Chain Stepaside.


I began working at Daisy Chain in 2019 and have grown and developed throughout this time. For 5.5 years, I worked in our Rathfarnham centre in both the Wobbler and Montessori rooms, then progressed to assistant manager before moving to Stepaside in 2025 as Centre Manager. I hold a first-class honours degree in Early Childhood, Care and Education, a FETAC Level 6 in Special Needs-assisting, and I am a fully qualified Montessori teacher.


I have a huge passion for quality, curriculum, inclusion and diversity and believe that all children should feel safe, secure, and valued within their environment, helping to promote their learning and development.

I feel it is important to build strong relationships with the families and children to ensure easy transitions. I feel good communication between parents and the team is key, and our team will always ensure the health, safety and well-being of all children is met to the highest standards.



In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being creative, exploring the outdoors and travelling to learn about new cultures and places.

WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR CHILD!

We treat every child as our own, dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to their success.
