Portobello Institute is the Early Years & Montessori sector’s educator of choice as our foundations lie in early years education since 1981.

Our Early childhood & Montessori graduates understand that they are sculpting not only young minds but also the future of society. They recognize the profound truth that their influence extends far beyond the present moment, leaving an indelible mark on generations yet to come. Our graduates make significant impacts within the early year’s sector working within county childcare committees, Pobal, DCEDIY and teaching on early years programmes. Successfully opening and running early years settings and Montessori schools have been the career choices of many of our graduates.

Yet, their impact goes beyond academics. They become pillars of support for families, offering guidance and reassurance as parents navigate the complex journey of raising children. If you are interested in developing your career and want to discuss one of our early years or Montessori courses please contact our expert admissions advisor, Jennifer Matteazzi, at [email protected], call 01 892 0031 or book a one-to-one consultation call at a time that suits you here.
