Admissions

Ballygawley Early Years Playgroup is open to all children from the ages of 3 to 4 in the local community, regardless of religion, race, culture, social clas, ability or disability. All places at Ballygawley Early Years are currently funded by the Pre-School Education Expansion Programme (PEAGs) and are allocated to children in their final pre-school year who are resident in Northern Ireland at the time of their proposed admission. Occasionally Ballygawley Early Years Playgroup may be able to offer fee paying places for children aged 3 and over, however, playgroup ony maintains a small number of these places and we offer a first come first served basis for fee paying placement. For further information on this please contact the playgroup leader.

The Education Authority (EA) publish information on their website https://www.eani.org.uk/parents/admissions about the pre-school admissions procedure and admissions criteria for schools and providers.

The closing date for 2023-24 preschool enrollment was Friday 27th January 2023.
