JS BJJ Cavan (Ballyjamesduff)
JS BJJ in Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan, runs Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for children split by age: Kids 1 for ages 6 to 8 from 4 to 4:45pm, and Kids 2 for ages 9 to 11 from 5 to 5:45pm, with a separate Teens class also available. Splitting younger children into two distinct groups keeps instruction and pacing appropriate for each age band. Parents are required to be present for drop-off and pickup, so this isn't a drop-and-go class — a detail worth noting for families planning around the short 45-minute sessions.

Cavan Academy of Music - Early Years
Cavan Academy of Music's Early Years programme offers Kindergarten Music classes for children from 3 months up to age 6, alongside a Suzuki Method group violin class for 4 to 5 year olds. Teaching draws on the Kodály and Dalcroze methods, two well-established approaches to early music education that build musicality through singing, movement and rhythm before formal notation is introduced. Having both a general music class and an instrument-specific violin option means families can choose broad musical exposure for younger children or start their child on an instrument slightly earlier through the Suzuki approach.
