LITTLE BUDDIES
Little Buddies would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended their 10th anniversary celebrations held recently in Chapel Gardens.
Little Buddies was established in 1995. After years of moving from place to place in the village, including the Parochial House, it finally moved into its own purpose built childcare facility in June 2008. The building of this facility was able to provide a much needed full day care service, breakfast club and afterschool service in addition to the existing playgroup sessions. The celebration was a huge success with past and present staff and parents along with members of the community all getting together to enjoy some refreshments, anniversary cake and fun.
Thank you to Roland Anderson, who provided music for the day; Beat the Bounce for the entertainment; Lynn Barlow and Katie Gilligan, who did face painting; Northwest Signs for the banner and Cacawillis provided a delicious cake.
Enrolments are now being accepted for the current free preschool year. There are also some vacancies within full day care services. Call Lisa at 071 9165660 or email littlebuddiessligo.gmail. com for more information.
