PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAMME
'LITTLE FARMERS'
The pre-school programme at Moher Hill Open farm is specifically designed with the Aistear programme in mind. The farm programme follows the theme of ‘Exploring and Thinking’ and the aim within this is for children to make ‘sense of the things, places and people in their world by interacting with others, playing, investigating, questioning’ (Aistear Programme p.43).
The farm tour extends young children’s knowledge of their world through feeding, interacting with and learning about animals and their young. The children have an opportunity to play in the bouncing castle, ball pool, go karts, and outdoor play areas.
Admission Price €10 per child
