Background:

With the aim of setting up and providing quality Childcare and Pre-school education for the young children of our community and carrying on the tradition of the excellent service, previously provided voluntarily by a visionary and inspirational group of local people, a group came together in 2002 to fulfil this vision. Murrintown Community Childcare Board of Directors has since been working to fulfil this aim. We intend to operate the service dictated by the needs and voices of the parents/guardians and children who will spend time there and to meet the needs of the community through the provision of quality, affordable, accessible Early Years and School aged Services
