The Mount Merrion Afterschool Centre (MMAC) opened in September 2006. Our endeavor is to maintain a safe and happy environment for the children to spend their afternoons in after being collected from school in their own locality. We work in partnership with parents and children to ensure we are supporting them with a high quality service.
Our children have individual needs. During their time with us the children will be encouraged to grow, to be confident and independent learners. Their interaction with the other children helps them to develop their abilities.
We provide the materials as the basis for this. They will take part in activities such as:
A variety of sports games, both in the sports hall and in the enclosed gardenArts and crafts, including painting, clay modeling, Computers, Cooking, Playing with toys, like mini-kitchen, lego, dolls, jigsaws, construction sets, Reading, Music and dancing, Multicultural projects, for example we are partners with Bunena Primary School in Uganda.
I set up the afterschool a number of years ago. A mum of three, I wanted to have a caring and fun afterschool which was based in the heart of our community, an afterschool which I would be happy for my own children to go to each day after school.We look after the children as if they were our own and enjoy every minute of our afternoons!
