Sligo Town

Fantasia is a small private preschool which solely caters for children who qualify for the ECCE

care see themselves as capable, confident individuals with opportunities to direct their own learning
journeys, in which we are but the facilitator. Due to continuous collaboration a strength based, anti-
bias, holistic, emergent curriculum with high but realistic expectations has been developed for every
child to participate to the best of their ability to reach their full potential. Fantasia operates a high
standard of care; I am proud to say we received excellent across all categories of inspection with
DES.
