Public benefits
The benefits which flow from our purpose is that children receive an excellent pre-school education and become more knowledgeable; the environment and healthy living are promoted through projects we deliver. We have a formal curriculum (reading/play) and an informal curriculum (manners etc). These benefits are demonstrated through inspections by
the Department of Education and informal feedback from users of our service. There is no harm arising from our purposes. The beneficiaries are all children in the area (subject to our maximum enrolment numbers as set by the local Social Services). Our Committee and volunteers are all local folk and our parents in the main come from 'less well off' backgrounds. As a very 'public' preschool in the Newry area our ethos is well known to many. Staff members receive a private benefit of a salary. This is necessary to achieve our purposes and is therefore incidental.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We provide preschool experiences to children aged between three and five years. Our playgroup is open to all children within that age group, but we do have a specific and widely recognised standing for meeting the preschool needs of children who have special educational needs. We also have developed expertise in dealing with the 'issues'
surrounding children from foreign national families who do not have English as a first language. Simply stated, our playgroup is committed to equality of opportunity for all within a recognising diversity framework.
