Early Intervention and School Readiness Groups
Early Intervention and School Readiness is for children aged approx. 2.5 - 6 years of age. Each session is 2-hours. Parents drop children off and can watch and listen to the session from the viewing room. This group is aimed at promoting preschool and school readiness. Children are grouped by ability after an initial assessment. Groups consist of 3-4 children per group. Cost works out at €15 per session, term commitment required.
