About Us
Contact UsManagement
My name is Irene Heredia, I own & manage both our settings. I’m qualified in Primary Teaching, Early Childhood Care and Education and Special Needs and started working in after school activities with children when I was in Secondary School.
It has always been my passion to work with children and have been lucky to gain great experience working as a Primary Teacher and Early Childhood Educator. I moved to Ireland in 2012 and worked in childcare facilities and schools with children of different ages. Special Needs has been an important part of my career along the way.
I opened the first setting in Glounthaune in 2018 and Midleton in 2024. In Generation Education we offer a wide range of services for children of different ages: Preschool, After-school and sessional Camps.
Our aim is to bring in new methodologies and ways of learning while introducing a second language – Spanish-, in the early years. We are a multi-denominational, co-educational setting where all children and families are welcome and where the main goal is to educate and guide the children through their development, considering their individual needs and characteristics, to reach their full potential and independence to become better citizens of our society.
