Craigavon Borough Council believes that opportunities for play are important to children's development as it stimulates and encourages physical and social interaction with others and provides opportunities for new learning.
The Council operates an all year round after school programme for children aged 5-13 years and a summer scheme during the month of August. The Children's Playscheme is run by a team of experienced and qualified Playworkers and operates from a number of Council's Community Centres. Parent and Toddler sessions are also available. For further information please contact Councils Senior Playleader at 028 38341115.
Following an external Review of the Children's Playscheme, Council agreed to make additional investment in the Playschemes transport, equipment, programme and staff training budgets for the 2007-2008 year.
