Galway Bay fm newsroom – Construction on a new childcare facility in Caltra, Ballinasloe is expected to begin shortly.
The Caltra Community Playgroup currently operates a morning pre-school service in a HSE-owned building which has been deemed as no longer fit for purpose.
Following a government allocation of almost 200 thousand euro, the facility will now be moved to a new purpose-built pre-school near the existing Caltra Community Centre.
The facility is one of ten projects nationwide that have been selected to benefit from a new tranche of funding for early years services.
A total of almost 400 thousand euro will be shared by around 140 childcare and montessori facilities across the city and county.
Galway Senator Michael Mullins says the group will now be able to expand its services and offer care for children with disabilities.
