Welcome to Steiner Na Gaillimhe

In September 2007 a group of parents decided to form a group,called the Steiner Na Gaillimhe.The group were looking for additional choices in education for children in the Galway area.
We believe that the addition of Steiner Waldorf education facilities where the emphasis is on developing the child through ' the heart,hands and head' would be of enormous benefit.
Today, the group meets regularly for parent and toddler groups , workshops,outings and monthly meetings,amongst other things.
The group is currently looking for a premise to house their Steiner Na Gaillimhe Kindergarten.
