Little Learners Ballinalee after school held their inaugural St Patrick’s Day parade on Monday, March 16. Mickey and Minnie Mouse were special guests and there was great excitement among the children as they were escorted through the village of Ballinalee by local Gardaí with the siren on in the patrol car and music in the wheelbarrow as they paraded. The children brought in their bikes, and parents attended with their pets. It was a fantastic day and huge thanks to Clonfin Motors and Gala Ballinalee who donated treats for the children. Little Learners Ballinalee has six staff, with 85 children on the books, and 60 children attend every day.  They run activity weeks during school closures, and these are open to everyone.
