THE CAVE ~Creative Arts Venture~, WICKLOW TOWN

The Cave is a Steiner based preschool service in Wicklow Town, which focuses on the holistic care & education of children aged from 2.9 years to 5 years of age. Emphasis is on traditional and multicultural arts, crafts and songs which correspond with the rhythm & changing seasons of nature, imitation, creative play, sensory integration (doing, feeling, thinking), storytelling and the natural environment.

We believe that outdoor play is vital to children's comfort and healthy development. Our Eco Garden is a living environment which awakens the senses and encourages lively and imaginative play. Our garden provides a sand pit and working water pump, and children are free to run, jump, climb, dig, plant and growCurrent research indicates that 'active' rather than passive play has an enormous impact on later learning ability.
