Teachers

My name is Lucy Thurston and I am the owner, manager and head teacher of Bambini Montessori School. I have been a Montessori teacher for five years and am delighted to have opened my own unique school.

I hold a Higher Diploma in Montessori Education from St. Nicholas Montessori College and a degree in Music and Italian from UCD. I am also a former professional singer and have been involved in music all my life. I sang with the National Chamber Choir of Ireland for two years, performing all over Ireland and abroad; China, Brazil, Prague, Poland and Germany. During this time with the NCC, I worked on children's opera projects and schools composition workshops. These were some of the highlights of my time
with the choir.

By opening Bambini Montessori School I am combining my two passions; early education and music. I have many years experience in music education and Montessori teaching, making Bambini Montessori School a unique pre-school experience for your child.
