We are proud to present: 'Irie Mini' 2009!
We are pleased and excited to open our Summer Program to younger children this summer!
We are now able to welcome children from 2 to 5 years in our 'Irie Mini's' program run by Fiona Sawers, an experienced Montessori trained teacher and her assistant.
She will be offering a nurturing, caring environment within a family atmosphere with an emphasis on calmness and encouragement of self-expression.
Activities will be varied and stimulating and will include role play, water play, sand play, story telling, music and movement, arts & crafts, dressing up, painting, cookery and much more!
Like the bigger ones they will be exposed to songs, stories and conversations in French and Spanish.
The 'Irie Mini's' will also have the opportunity to join excursions suited to their age group including beach trips, farm tours, riverbank picnics, warm tubs etc. There will also be plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy the Botanical Gardens on our doorstep.
Irie Eco 3rd International Summer Program - Alliance Francaise - July 13 to August 14 2009

Hello!
We are writing in the hope that you or your company may be interested in assisting children who are taking part in this summer's Irie Eco children program.
This is our third year of giving children the opportunity to discover the beauty of our country with its natural splendors in an active and challenging way. Our International Summer Program for children aged 2 to 12 is located at the Alliance Française and runs from July 13th to August 14th 2009 this year. It is supported by enthusiastic and qualified staff from overseas.
‘irie eco’ is a Dominican association promoting an appreciation and love of our beautiful island. We provide an opportunity for primary school children to broaden their education in a way that enhances and complements their school curriculum. Our summer activities include but are not limited to:- learning to swim, hiking, socializing with children from other cultures, practicing foreign languages, arts and crafts, drama, identifying plants and animals in the Rainforest and learning to have a genuine respect for nature. (See brochure attached)
Incorporated into the program, there are 3 different outings every week, and we serve 2 fruit snacks and a healthy vegetarian lunch to about 50 children and 10 adults daily. Since we try to keep the fees for the children as low as possible, we are looking for contributions and sponsors. In this respect, would you or your company consider funding a day’s outing? (An average outing costs approximately EC$450.00 in transportation and about EC$250.00 in meals and snacks).
Alternatively, would you consider sponsoring a child/ren whose parents cannot afford the fees?
Maybe your staff would appreciate you offering this as a benefit this summer too. Maybe it could be considered as part of an incentive program? The price of the 5 weeks program is EC$425 or EC$120 per week.
Finally, we are seeing sponsorship to contribute towards advertising, printing and office expenses, etc. This totals approximately EC$ 2 500.
Any help you can provide to assist us in continuing to run and promote our successful summer program would be greatly appreciated. In return we can offer to promote you or your company's name in our marketing materials and brochures. We will also detail you on our online site.
Thank you for your kind consideration of the above and we look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Tina Nottbrock and Cecile James Mons
