The third partner First Steps playgroup is situated on the opposite end of town. Opposite geographically and opposite communities. Families seldom come across town. 🎼 We are all different but really the same 🎵

Our Ballymena partnership is unique in that Ballymena Nursery and Castle Tower Special Needs School are separated literally by a fence. Prior to @SharingStart there was limited opportunities for the children to come together for #SharedEducation
