Скачать или смотреть Mellow Spring - Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards 2023

Mellow Spring Childcare Development Centre has been operating from a purpose built child care facility since 2004 providing full-time and part-time care for children whose parents are at work, on social welfare and in education. They also provide ECCE free preschool (2 years) for children who will progress on to national school or special school in some circumstances.

The key strength of the organisation has been the low staff turnover, with many staff being employed in the service for over 10 years. More than half the staff have returned to education and now hold degree qualifications in the early years field. This leads to a higher quality of care and better outcomes for children.

The primary social causes that Mellow Spring Childcare Development Centre seek to address are:
• Disadvantaged People
• Young People
• Family Support
• Migrants, Refugees, Asylum
• Environment
• Disability
• Diversity
• LGBT+
• Mental Illness
• Homelessness
• Unemployment
• Addiction
• Education
Mellow Spring Childcare Development Centre will use the Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards 2023 funding towards:
• Purchase sensory equipment to meet the growing demand for the provision of preschool places for children with additional needs
