History

Meigh Community Pre-School was first opened in 1983.  It was in a Port Cabin and was used by the children of the community and local area.  Then in 1995 the Pre-School moved into the community centre which was built by Newry and Mourne District Council.  In 1999 funding was obtained from ‘Childhood Funding’, with this funding in place and help form the local community this present purpose-built building was opened in January 2000

Aims and Objectives

We aim with the help of parents to provide a safe, secure, happy and stimulating environment for children to develop through play and to build on the knowledge he/she has gained at home.  Parents are always welcome to spend as much time with their child in Pre-School as necessary and so through their guidance and help the child will grow in confidence and feel secure in themselves.  Staff are actively encouraged to obtain additional relevant qualifications and to update their skills and knowledge by attending courses relating to children and the curriculum and also outside agencies.

Ethos- the ethos of the Pre-School is welcoming, supportive, friendly and secure environment for the children in the absence of their parent/carers
