HOW DID YOU COME TO SET UP THE CYLCH?
As secretary of the local Cylch Ti a Fi, a parent and toddler group, I attended a county meeting of Mudiad Meithrin, an early years organisation running over 500 Cylch Meithrin, or Welsh-language playgroups. The chairperson asked me whether I would be interested in opening a new Cylch Ti a Fi in the village. We opened on St David’s Day 1988 in the local church hall. We also started Cylch Meithrin sessions for children over two.
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN CHANGE?
More families are coming through the doors from non-Welsh-speaking backgrounds as they see the advantages of their children being bilingual. There is now a large choice of Welsh-language children’s programmes on S4C, which helps families learning Welsh, along with children’s books from Mudiad Meithrin’s online shop.
