The
Scalpay Playgroup has been running for many many years.
Until recently the playgroup met in the Community Hall
once a week. This was very inconvienient, as the equipment
had to be set up before the kids came in and then it
had to be packed away afterwards. The Scalpay Primary
School had no further use for their old home economics
room, so they (and the local council) have allowed the
playgroup to use it. A couple of local parents set about
redecorating and repairing the building which, as you
can see from the photographs below, is now ideal for
the kids. The equipment can now be left in situe (and
the kids can now play with water, which was not allowed
in the Community Hall in case of damage to the wooden
flooring).
The
playgroup (Croileagan ) caters for children from 3 years
old to 5 years old. There is also the Mothers and Toddlers
Group which caters for the younger children. Recently
the playgroup recieved a grant from the Local Council
which has allowed them to purchase some much needed
equipment, including a slide, trampoline and sandpit
(which can also be used for water).
