AFTER-SCHOOL

Parent, Baby and Toddler Group

Creeslough Community Childcare Services is starting a Parent, Baby and Toddler Group on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 10.30 to 11.30am starting on Monday the 4th of March. The session will be filled with music, movement and fun activities for your children and an opportunity for you to meet other parents.

This is a great opportunity for your children to play independently with other children, while still having the security of their parents close by. This can be a great help in building a child′s confidence.
