Think for a moment and paint a picture in your mind of what you would imagine a typical Irish preschool room looks like. Now remove all the toys, then the furniture, then the windows, the walls, and the roof. Now infuse it with tall trees and natural woodland, with birds singing in the trees and bugs hiding under logs, and the smell of eucalyptus and pine burning brightly on an open fire.
