We deliver the highest standard of pre-school education through our experienced and highly trained staff, who come from different community backgrounds. Our active learning programme help develop children's personal, social and emotional skills. A friendly and fun environment help children interact with others... role play, games, reading, pictures and language are just some of the activities the children enjoy. The children's spirit of enquiry and openness to learning is developed at all levels with individual plans to meet individual needs. During the year we received funding to purchase outdoor equipment and toys which the children really enjoyed. This year we had 26 preschool children and 20 children in our sunshine room. It was great to see them develop their educational and personal skills over the year. There continues to be no private gain to any individual member. In setting our objectives and planning our activities for the year the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the charity's purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.
