The Pre-School Project

Kirkcudbright Pre-School group is a small, intimate playgroup in a quiet corner of South West Scotland.

The group is a community group offering childcare to children whose parents need to work, study and sometimes take care of other family members……..as well as themselves.  The group is an invaluable asset to the local community as childcare providers are few and far between.
 
As well as helping parents it is of course giving really good quality care to the children themselves – something we are extremely passionate about.  The group is gearing up to offer nurturing activities for children; making the best use of the environment and giving children a great space to play, learn and socialize.

Therefore we are asking for donations.  This small registered charity is refurbishing its playroom and looking for toys and equipment to enhance the children’s experience within the group, a lot needs to be done.  Good hearted folk are helping out with odd jobs, but of course many things cost money. 

Any amount would be truly appreciated and go a long a way to helping the group and any amount donated will get our heartfelt thanks.  Thanks to the wonderful good will of some Scottish story tellers, artists, musicians and publishers we are able to offer some perks to thank people who can donate a little more:
