Croileagan, Obar Dheathain

(Playgroup, Aberdeen)

Hello and welcome to the web page for our Parent and Toddler group, for children from birth to three.

We are the only Gaelic parent and toddler group in the North-East of Scotland (English is also spoken).  The session is open to all speakers and non-speakers of Gaelic.

The group meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (during term time) in the General Purposes Room of Gilcomstoun Primary School.

We meet at 9.15am and the children have half an hour of free play, then our playleader will help the children with crafts / drawing / painting. Around 10.30am a snack will be provided for the children, followed by some more free play. Our playleader will sing some Gaelic nursery rhymes with the children and finish the session with a story. The playleader will also be able to go over basic Gaelic words with the children (such as numbers and colours). The session ends at approx. 11.20am.

Tea and coffee are available free of charge for parents throughout the session.

In addition, any parents who are interested in learning, or improving their, Gaelic are welcome to attend a parent’s class which is held at Croileagan every Wednesday from 9am.
