My name is Geraldine Uí Chatháin, I have been working in Early Years since 2016, previously as Leader of Naíscoil Ghleann an Iolair and I am really excited to begin my journey here with Naíscoil Ghreanacháin. I have a passion for working in Early Years, especially through the medium of Irish.

I have a great belief in the huge cogitative as well as cultural benefit this can bring to the children. I have experience working with children with additional needs and have strived to develop my skills as much as possible so that I can offer an inclusive and enjoyable learning environment for children of all abilities so that each child can achieve
their highest potential possible, while having fun!
