KILLEEDY Preschool was named as a finalist in the 2026 Newstalk Changemaker Awards.
The local preschool was shortlisted in the FBD Local Business category.
Three years ago, six local parents — Maura Cremin, Eileen Deely, Laura McEnery, Timothy Mulcahy, Teresa Nash Casey, and Noreen O’Mahony— came together when the closure of Ashford Preschool, as it was then known, became imminent.
In response, Killeedy Preschool Committee CLG was formed. Today, the preschool plays an essential role within the local area, serving families from Ashford and Raheenagh.
