About Scamps & Scholars

View our Booklet.

We at Scamps and Scholars always ensure that each child who enters our door is cared for and cherished as all children should be. We strive to provide an environment where we respect individuality , educate and care for each child. In doing this we prepare them with the tools and skills necessary for every day life.

Killorglin Community Childcare was established over 15 years ago to meet the growing demand for quality and affordable childcare in Killorglin Town and the surrounding area.

It was initially set up and run from rooms in Killorglin Sports Complex but through the hard work and dedication of numerous Board of Directors and staff and the good will of many, a state of the art childcare Centre, Scamps and Scholars-Killorglin Community Childcare was officially opened in March 2001.

The facility can cater for 130 full time children across 4-5 different sectors / age groups – Infants, Wobblers, Toddlers, pre-school and afterschool.

Scamps and Scholars employ’s 16 people full time and another 5 people on a part-time basis.

The Centre is fully registered with the HSE.
