St. Anne's in Ennis has a waiting list of one child. Doesn't sound like a long list, but that child could be waiting until someone emigrates.

Jonix in Limerick may have a space, depending on what another parent does.

There's one in the eastway business park, but seems that is also full.

I'm looking for a preschool / creche / Special Needs Assistant / childminder who uses PECS day to day. Pecs is kind of like flash cards for people with speech problems. They learn to use the cards to supplement speech.

Any suggestions appreciated.
