Ballyglass Community Childcare Service opened in 1981 / 1982 as a Playschool based in the Community Centre in Ballyglass. It was run with one member of staff and volunteer parents. The Playschool has run successfully ever since, with the introduction of an After-School Service in 2005. Our award winning purpose built facility opened in September 2009, offering a full range of services from 6 months to 12 years.
