Over 4,000 children will start Pre-School Education in September 2008
Over 4,000 children across the Southern Education and Library Board (SELB) area will learn this weekend which funded pre-school setting they will attend in September 2008. Funded pre-school places are available in nursery schools, nursery units attached to primary schools as well as voluntary and private playgroups and day nurseries that have pre-school places funded by the Southern Education and Library Board’s Pre-School Education Advisory Group (PEAG).
Whilst the number of applications has increased since the previous year, the number of children who have been unsuccessful in securing a pre-school place is down on last year as the Department of Education provided funding for more places for the 2008/09 school year.

Parents and guardians will receive letters on Saturday, 3 May 2008 from the pre-school setting as described above which will admit their son or daughter from September 2008.

Those children who have not received a place will receive a letter from the Board on Saturday, notifying them of pre-school settings that still have funded places available. This list may be accessed by clicking on the following link PRE SCHOOL OUTSTANDING PLACES
