Club Ardagh's Afterschool service provides childcare for all school-aged children on a daily basis. Children participating in the afterschool will be provided with homework assistance and a healthy homemade dinner. The service is open all year round except for Bank Holiday, brief closures during Christmas and Easter and two weeks during the summer holidays at the end of August. Parents will be notified via text message or telephone if the service is closed for any unforeseen reason
Children can be booked in for 5 days, 3 days or just 1 day a week. The afterschool sessions are available:
2.00pm - 3.10pm - €6 per day
2.00pm - 6.00pm - €14 per day
3.10pm - 6.00pm - €12 per day
Afterschool children in Junior and Senior Infant classes are collected from their classrooms by a Club Ardagh staff member and walked across the school grounds to the facility.
Club Ardagh is registered with Pobal and the DCEDIY and participates in the National Childcare Scheme. Please check www.ncs.gov.ie to get more information on how this may benefit you.
