We'd love to welcome your family to Confey Montessori. Here's how to take the next step.
Choosing a school is a big decision. We keep our process simple, warm, and unhurried — there's plenty of room for questions, and you're encouraged to come and see the environment for yourself.
Email Jen Kelly at info@confeymontessori.com to introduce your family and let us know which programme you're interested in.
We'll set up a time for you to come and see the school. Visits are by appointment so we can give you our full attention and answer your questions.
If Confey feels right for your family, we'll provide an application form and outline next steps, including any deposit and start-date arrangements.
Before the first day, we'll talk through how to help your child make a calm, confident transition into school life.

Not at all. Many of our parents come to Montessori for the first time when they enrol their child. We're always happy to explain the approach and let you see it in action.
Confey is a small school by design. Group sizes are kept to a level that allows every child to be truly known by the guides and to build close, supportive relationships with peers.
We are on the grounds of San Carlo School in Leixlip — a quiet, secure setting easily reached from Confey, Maynooth, Celbridge, and the surrounding area.

Yes — we encourage it. Visits are by appointment so we can show you around properly. Please call or text Jen to arrange a time.
However you'd like to get started — a quick chat, a list of questions, or a tour of the school — we'd love to hear from you.
