AGHADA COMMUNITY PLAYGROUP COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Aghada Community Playgroup is a volunteer-run early years service that offers a welcoming, play-focused environment for young children. Operating as a High/Scope programme, the playgroup uses a research-backed approach that encourages children to explore, experiment and reflect, helping them develop confidence, imagination and the technical know-how to become lifelong learners.

The group is open to all children in the local community, providing regular sessions where play is deliberately structured to support social, emotional and cognitive growth. By fostering a supportive space for children to "wallow and reflect on their feelings, ideas and relationships," Aghada Community Playgroup aims to nurture intrinsically motivated learners who are ready to engage with the world around them. The service is free to join and welcomes families who value the power of play in early development.
