We provide a mornings only, supervised sessional playgroup. We have a large, bright, playroom, well stocked with toys, arts & crafts mate
rials and educational equipment. We have a secure outside play area where children can enjoy informal interaction and explore nature
We also use the Sports Hall where children can run and play with bikes, cars, climbing frames, slides and other bigger toys when the weather does not permit outside play
We currently offer 5 sessions per week Monday to Friday 9.15 am - 12.15pm during termtime. We offer a free place to all pre-school children via the E.C.C.E scheme in conjunction with the Dept of Children. Children can enrol in September, January and April each year
To avail of the free pre-school year commencing in September 2016, children must meet certain age related criteria which can be found here -http://aim.gov.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Your-childs-eligibility-for-the-ECCE-programme.pdf
If your child is over the eligibility age requirement due to special needs they may be able to get an exemption from the upper age limit for the ECCE Scheme. Applying is easy; just contact us for more info. For children who are not on the ECCE scheme, our sessions are currently β¬10 per day and the number of sessions per week is flexible. We cater for children from the age of 2 years 9 months to 6 years. Children attending playschool should be toilet trained. Please contact staff to discuss any special circumstances
