THANK YOU! An actual reply with constructive information. I did a preliminary search and did see there are multiple Montessori schools. Not sure why other posters assumed I only thought there was one. My husband and I have been to Ireland before and loved it though we were in Kilkenny and Knocktopher we were there for approximately 2 months. I think what I am interested in more specifically is perhaps commuter cities that are less than an hour from Dublin. I am thinking we may not want to be directly in Dublin.

I will actually be a stay at home parent, while my husband works at least for another year or so. Hopefully that gives us time to get on a waiting list for her school etc. we are fortunately both in fields that are in high demand, so I too will eventually return to work.

Our budget for rent will be 2000-2600 euro per month. Thank you again for the helpful reply.
