Children's Activities

Playgroup

The Playgroup is a very important activity for the children who attend. Children interaction amongst other children and parent. Qualified or experienced adults supervise activities, which are stimulating and educational.

The Playgroup, the crèche and child minding support remain the cornerstone of support services for women. As much as the educational benefits for the children, these services allow mothers with large families to attend our training courses knowing that their children are being cared for. 

There is no doubt that, without this support the mothers who have benefited from our training programs would have excluded from taking up any form of skilled training.

Play scheme

Play schemes are organised during the summer school holidays. This service is especially targeted for children between the ages of 4 and 15 years old. The activities include indoor and outdoor games, cultural music and dance, drama, mask and costume making. The most thrilling and interesting parts of the play scheme for children are the trips to theme parks, outing to the seaside, a visit to the children's museum and going to the cinema.
