Kilcullen Toddler Group to resume activities

The Kilcullen Toddler Group will resume on Wednesday next, 26 September, in the Parish Centre, writes Brian Byrne.

The group had not restarted as usual after the summer break some weeks ago, as not enough volunteers were available.

However, organiser Laura Murphy announced on Thursday last that new volunteers had come forward, following an appeal, which will allow the group's resumption. It meets on Wednesdays from 10am to 12 noon.

The group was originally set up in the early 1990s.

Kilcullen Community Carer and Toddler Group’s annual Halloween Party will be held on Wednesday 31 October during the usual Toddler Group session between 10.30 and 12.30 in the Parish Centre.

All pre-schoolers and their carers are welcome to attend.

Weather forces toddlers indoors

The wonderful Irish summer has struck again.

The riverside walk and picnic planned by the Carer & Toddler Group has been postponed because of the anticipated weather conditions today. The normal meeting will take place in the Parish Centre.

Storm force winds and heavy rain are forecast for east Leinster. (And here at dawn, there's a red sky, so be warned.)

Toddler group walk and picnic

Kilcullen Carer & Toddler Group will have a riverside walk and picnic on Wednesday morning, weather permitting.

The group will meet as usual at the Parish Centre and will go from there to the new Bridge Camphill Farm & Nature Trail, followed by a picnic and coffee.

Dramatic summer at the Carer & Toddler Group.

Kilcullen Community Carer & Toddler Group have teamed up with Drama Dynamics to give 4-8 year-olds a dramatic time this summer, writes Lynn Worrall, and it's all free.

Over the summer Drama Dynamics will come to the Parish Centre while the group is session and take the older children (4-8) for a fun filled hour of acting, puppetry, poetry and more. The provisional dates are July 25, August 1 and 15. The sessions will start at 11am and run for about an hour with juice and snacks afterwards.

This is a great opportunity for carers to continue to attend the Carer & Toddler Group over the summer while the older children are at home. It will give the older children an opportunity to test their interest in drama also. All carers and children are welcome.

All details on our Facebook page (Kilcullen Toddler Group).
See our website for info on the playgroup and here for info on Drama Dynamics. Registration is not required but preference will be given to existing Carer & Toddler Group members and a small donation to the costs is appreciated but not compulsory.

Carers Camphill walk postponed

The Kilcullen Carers & Toddlers walk through the Bridge Camphill scheduled for this morning has been postponed until next Wednesday because of the cold weather.

Weather permitting, the group will meet as usual at the Parish Centre and walk down to The Bridge Camphill Community Farm behind An Tearmann Coffee shop. A walk around the farm to view the plants, animals and fowl will be followed by yummy scones and coffee for the carers and organic fruit from Manna for the little ones.

All welcome, including carers with older holidaying children.

Challenging Behaviours Workshop

A special 2-hour workshop on dealing with challenging behaviour will be given by Siobhan Walsh on 29 November in Kilcullen Parish Centre, writes Lynn Worrall. The objective is to achieve a deeper understanding of children's Challenging Behaviours.

Children with CB are not trying to make life difficult for adults, in actual fact they are trying to show us how difficult life is for them!! 

There will also be practical intervention tips to put the new information into practice. The event takes place at 7.30pm.

Siobhan is a Psychotherapist/Parent mentor who trained with Dr Tony Humphreys and her programme was devised by him. 

If time permits we will do some role play.

There will be handouts for participants to take away. 

There will be a cover charge of €5 per person, limited places. Booking at the Toddler Group on Wednesday next or on our Facebook page, Kilcullen Toddler Group.
