Parent and Toddler groups

Before we begin, let me point out that a Parent and Toddler group is open to parents, grandparents, carers, guardians and childminders and that the children can be new born, infants or toddlers! Having cleared that up, you might be interested to know that there are over forty P&T groups in Donegal and a few of them are open over the summer.

The Rathmullen Parent and Toddler group meets in the Resource Centre at the Coastguard Station on Thursdays from 10.30 – 12.30 through the summer. Contact 074 9158724

The Downstrands Parent and Toddler group meets in the Dolmen Centre, Kilclooney, Portnoo on Mondays through the summer from 10:30 – 12:30 Contact 074 9545879

If you are aware of other groups that are continuing to meet over the summer please let us know here at Parent Hub – just email parenthubdonegal@gmail.com and we will get those details up on the website and out on Facebook.

Most P&T groups operate during term time so in mid August we will be putting up details of all the groups around the County to help you find one near you.
