Céilí Beag Baby & Toddler Play Sessions for 0–3 years
Each month brings a brand-new sensory adventure designed to nurture your child’s curiosity, confidence, and creativity. Our play sessions are thoughtfully created to support early development through hands-on exploration, music, movement, and social connection.
A different traditional Irish instrument is introduced every month by our visiting musician - adding a beautiful cultural experience to each session.
While attending regularly helps little ones build routine and learn through repetition, families are always welcome to join whenever they can.
