Children may join playgroup when they are 2 ½ years of age. The aim of the playgroup is to provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment in which pre-school children can play together on a regular basis.

Each session is planned and includes play activities that help progress the children’s learning and development in each of the areas covered by the desirable learning goals. These are Communication, Language and Literacy, Mathematics development, Physical development, Creative development, Personal and Social development and finally Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Children are encouraged through play to use all their senses to explore the world around them. We provide safe and stimulating opportunities, using encouragement and praise for effort.
