What Our Team Says
"Laochra Academy is an absolutely fantastic service. Since starting in November, I have seen such a change in my child. She is so happy and content every day coming home from afterschool and this in turn is making the evenings after my own day's work far less stressful"
Sarah
"Our two boys ( 7 and 11) have had a brilliant year with Laochra Academy. The service is very well organised by Emer and her team . We found homework to be really well supervised and the boys never had any issues with getting help when needed."
A.G
"My child loves going to Laochra. He loves the variety of child-led activities that are available every day. I love that he gets to play outside and use all sorts of equipment to engage his creative side. The girls who look after the kids are very positive and caring."
