Young at Heart provides an excellent pathway to P1 in Sacred Heart P.S. and also prepares every child for starting school. Children should be at least three years old to be considered for a place in Young at Heart.

The information below relates to the structure of the Young at Heart Club (Pre Pre School and Pre School):

- The club runs from 12 noon to 2pm each day (Monday to Friday). The Young at Heart building is directly adjacent the community hall.

- The weekly cost for attendance is £15 a week. This is to be paid on the School Money portal. It must be stressed that even if your child on occasion does not attend for the full five days, the

£15 fee must be paid regardless.

- Children attending must be toilet trained (in the event of an accident please ensure your child is provided with a change of clothes and wipes).

- Children will bring a packed lunch and eat together from 12:45pm to 1:15pm. We operate a healthy eating policy in line with Department of Education recommendations. It is parental

responsibility to ensure that a healthy lunch is provided and that there is no item present that could be a choke hazard. Children should also bring a bottle of water. Any food containing nuts

will not be permitted.

- During each day children will participate in structured activities (Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Art, PE and Drama). Our new outdoor play area and learning zone will also be utlised.

+++ Young at Heart will start back for the new academic year on Monday 1st September. To confirm your child's place, please contact the school office between 8am and 1pm this coming Thursday (28th August). +++

Thank you.
