Gaelic Medium Education Nursery Provision is currently available at Breadalbane Academy.
Gaelic playgroups, or Croileagan, are a good way for like-minded parents/carers to meet and for children to be immersed in another language before entering Primary School.
There are currently two Gaelic Playgroups for the 0-5 age group running within the Perth and Kinross area. These playgroups are open two sessions a week during term time and are free of charge. Sessions include a mixture of free-play, activities, games, arts & crafts, songs and stories delivered in simple Gaelic. You don't need to have any prior knowledge of Gaelic to attend.
- Cròileagan Pheairt (Facebook page) on Tuesdays & Thursdays 10am - 12pm at The Garden Room, Tayside Christian Fellowship, Paradise Place, Perth
- Cròileagan Obar Pheallaidh (Facebook page) on Wednesdays & Fridays 9 am - 11 am at Breadalbane Community Campus, Crieff Road, Aberfeldy
PLEASE NOTE: Due to COVID-19 restrictions these groups are not running at their full capacity at present and we are asking parents/carers to book into the sessions. Please visit Cròileagan Pheairt and Cròileagan Obar Pheallaidh via Eventbrite to book a place.
