Activity Club:

As part of the expansion of the Early Years’ service set out in the FACT Ballincollig FRC Strategic Plan 2021-2024 the Activity Club began on 30th August 2021 with 18 children participating.

The aim of the Activity Club is to provide a fun afterschool environment with hot, nutritious food and a range of social activities promoting independent thinking and confidence building. We catered for junior infants to fourth class, 15 children catered for, 1.45 to 4.30p.m. Two of the Early years team lead this service providing a warm and inclusive environment to engage the school aged children. Support with homework is offered if needed. Many of the children are participating in 2-3 sessions per week.

We provide 28 places (1st to 6th class) from Monday to Thursday afternoons, 2:45 to 4pm during the normal school year. The club is led by a room leader and an assistant of the early years childcare team. We aim to create an environment that makes young people want to learn and support each other in this.

Service available:

Mon to Thurs: 1.45p.m. to 5.30p.m.

Activity club cost: €5 per session or part of thereof.

Testimonials

“

Our son became braver, has learnt more how to co-operate in a group with lots of kids. He has got a great lesson at art, sport, science. The pre-school was the best preparation for big school. I could not imagine a more wonderful pre-school, teachers and management for our son. Thank you so so much.

Our daughter had basic speech, lacked confidence and due to her hypermobility was afraid of taking any risks when it came to gross motor activities. After two years with Early Years, she has become a big independent thinker, has a massive vocabulary and is able to assess risk when climbing, running etc. Your pre-school has helped nurture those skills.

Positive impact, confident and more independent. Fantastic attentive staff.

My child got confidence, independence and skills to socialise and negotiate. I am very happy that both of my children attended pre-school here and the service we received.
