View full details →Fingal Additional Needs
Fingal Additional Needs is a fun and inclusive experience for children with additional needs. Spaces are limited, so book your spot today. Location: The Band Room, Skerries. My name is David, and I started Fingal Additional Needs after leaving my previous job. Many parents asked me to continue supporting their loved ones with 1-1 outings, and as a parent of a child with ASD and ADHD, I know how valuable a break can be. For over 10 years, I've worked with children and adults with additional needs. After a successful year offering 1-1 support and two years running Football4All with Skerries Town, I introduced summer camps that were a huge success, leading to extra classes, and I've recently set up an afterschool class. My goal is to give parents and carers a well-deserved break while providing a fun and engaging environment for children. I'm not a therapist, but I focus on creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for the kids - whether it's getting active, socialising, or just being happy in their own space, these sessions are designed with your child's needs in mind, whether they have ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, or other additional needs. You can check out some of the work I've done on Instagram and Facebook @fingaladditionalneeds.

Little Kickers Dublin South & Wicklow
Join the world's No. 1 preschool football programme, with over 100,000 children participating every week. Our play-orientated classes are fun, engaging, and nurture a love of sport from an early age. We are proud to be more than just football - while football is the tool we use, our goal is to develop the fundamentals of movement (balance, agility & coordination), fundamental movement skills (running, hopping, skipping, jumping), social skills such as listening, sharing and taking turns, and early learning concepts like numbers, colours and body parts. We have 4 different age groups to ensure children participate with their peers at around the same developmental level. Our Little Kickers programme is suitable for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years - it's a parent-toddler programme requiring active parental participation, which ensures your child gets the very best out of the sessions; learning to listen and follow instructions through engaging, fun games is the goal at this level. Our Junior Kickers classes are for 2.5 to 3.5 year olds, who are starting to get more independent at this stage - children participate more by themselves, though many will still like to have their parents close to them at the magic wall, with Play, Practice, Understand as the learning outcome. The next stage is Mighty Kickers, suitable for 3.5 to 5 year olds, where most children participate independently with parents encouraged to support from the sidelines, further developing Play, Practice, Understand. The Mega Kickers programme brings together all the learning outcomes from the previous levels, relying less on the play-orientated structure of earlier stages, with a 20-minute match at the end of each session preparing children to move onto football academies and continue their football journey. Throughout all stages, our core philosophy of Play not Push is embodied - we believe children should be gently encouraged to participate and allowed to watch if they are unsure, in the hope that seeing other children in the class participating will spur them on to join in the fun.

View full details →Little Kickers Dublin South & Wicklow
Join the world's No. 1 preschool football programme, with over 100,000 children participating every week. Our play-orientated classes are fun, engaging, and nurture a love of sport from an early age. We are proud to be more than just football - while football is the tool we use, our goal is to develop the fundamentals of movement (balance, agility & coordination), fundamental movement skills (running, hopping, skipping, jumping), social skills such as listening, sharing and taking turns, and early learning concepts like numbers, colours and body parts. We have 4 different age groups to ensure children participate with their peers at around the same developmental level. Our Little Kickers programme is suitable for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years - it's a parent-toddler programme requiring active parental participation, which ensures your child gets the very best out of the sessions; learning to listen and follow instructions through engaging, fun games is the goal at this level. Our Junior Kickers classes are for 2.5 to 3.5 year olds, who are starting to get more independent at this stage - children participate more by themselves, though many will still like to have their parents close to them at the magic wall, with Play, Practice, Understand as the learning outcome. The next stage is Mighty Kickers, suitable for 3.5 to 5 year olds, where most children participate independently with parents encouraged to support from the sidelines, further developing Play, Practice, Understand. The Mega Kickers programme brings together all the learning outcomes from the previous levels, relying less on the play-orientated structure of earlier stages, with a 20-minute match at the end of each session preparing children to move onto football academies and continue their football journey. Throughout all stages, our core philosophy of Play not Push is embodied - we believe children should be gently encouraged to participate and allowed to watch if they are unsure, in the hope that seeing other children in the class participating will spur them on to join in the fun.

Join the world's No. 1 preschool football programme, with over 100,000 children participating every week. Our play-orientated classes are fun, engaging, and nurture a love of sport from an early age. We are proud to be more than just football - while football is the tool we use, our goal is to develop the fundamentals of movement (balance, agility & coordination), fundamental movement skills (running, hopping, skipping, jumping), social skills such as listening, sharing and taking turns, and early learning concepts like numbers, colours and body parts. We have 4 different age groups to ensure children participate with their peers at around the same developmental level. Our Little Kickers programme is suitable for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years - it's a parent-toddler programme requiring active parental participation, which ensures your child gets the very best out of the sessions; learning to listen and follow instructions through engaging, fun games is the goal at this level. Our Junior Kickers classes are for 2.5 to 3.5 year olds, who are starting to get more independent at this stage - children participate more by themselves, though many will still like to have their parents close to them at the magic wall, with Play, Practice, Understand as the learning outcome.

Mini Athletics Dundalk Drogheda and Swords

A caregiver must attend; it's best to bring a bottle of water, as little ones will work up a thirst. Classes are Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Babywearing Ireland Sling Meets are peer-to-peer support meetings, facilitated by volunteers who are baby wearers. Peer-to-peer support allows those who attend to help each other and share their experiences - sling meets are informal gatherings, so it's not possible for BWI volunteers to give any professional advice. Our sling meets also offer a sling library service, so if you like a particular sling, you can rent it for a small fee, take it home and try it for a month. Our sling categories are stretchy wrap, woven wrap, ring sling, mei tai, and soft structured carriers (SSC). In addition to our in-person meets, we have a national library from which slings can be rented and delivered via courier. Meet-ups are usually monthly - keep an eye on social media to find out the date of the next one.
