My Playground_
Community Centre
For over 40 years, Ahoghill Playgroup has been embedded in hearts of the Ahoghill local community! From our beginnings in the Old School House, we have served multiple generations of families from the village as well as new one.
We encourage a supportive environment for children to grow and mature in order to make the transition from home to school.
With Daily sessions from 9.00am to 11:45 am, we stimulate the children through a balanced mix of structured play, stories and fun activities.

Our Mission Statement
- To provide a stimulating environment through which all areas of child development are promoted.
- To provide a safe and secure environment where children are provided with adequate supervision from sensitive and understanding adults. Our staff ratio is 1:8 children.
- To provide as many play opportunities as possible to help children to interact with others, thus building their self-confidence and self-esteem.
- To provide learning opportunities to cover the six areas of learning:-
- Early Mathematical Experiences
- The Arts
- Personal, Social & Emotional Development
- Language Development
- The World Around Us
- Physical Development & Movement
We promote and encourage an awareness of the environment by learning about plants and animals. We also encourage personal health and hygiene by using break time as an opportunity to talk naturally and informally with the children about healthy foods and healthy eating habits.
Children are encouraged to develop acceptable standards of hygiene. Opportunities for this include our daily routine e.g. washing hands after toileting, before eating and also after
messy play times.
