Carla Lockhart MP • December 5, 2023
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has congratulated local preschool, Epworth Playgroup, on their 10th anniversary. The local representative joined the celebrations at their recent coffee morning to mark the milestone.
The DUP MP said:
“I am delighted that Epworth Playgroup has reached this milestone anniversary.
A huge amount of work and dedication has gone into making the Playgroup such a success. So many children and parents can testify to the amazing care provided here and the foundation stones put in place in kids lives to equip them for Primary School.
Running a first class playgroup is far from easy, and it really is a credit to the team here at Epworth Playgroup that they have had ten years of ongoing development and impact in the community. I know the team have plans for the future and I know the group will continue to be a success for many more years to come.”
