## **Objectives and activities**
The aims of Noah’s Ark Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through our community group by:
- a) Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hour groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability.
- b) Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local area.
- c) Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
We run an Early Years Setting. The charity provides care and education, during term times to children from two and a half years old to school age.
The children are provided with a wide range of activities and opportunities to develop key skills.
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity ran 180 three hour supervised sessions for children from two and a half years old to school age and 24 three-hour sessions for the children in their pre-school year. Throughout the year 24 children and their families utilized these sessions.
## **Financial Review**
The charity has an informal policy whereby at the end of the academic year they aim to have approximately eight months of operating cost in reserve. This is to ensure that they continue to function through the next academic year if the number of children attending are diminished.
