Funders
We offer two government programmes for childcare:
We are funded by Pobal for both programmes.
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme
Pobal undertakes annual compliance visits to childcare providers participating in ECCE to ensure, on behalf of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA), that eligible children receive their entitlements and that the provider is in compliance with the terms of the programme.
Community Childcare Subvention (CCS) programme
Pobal pays the participating services for their CCS approved children. Pobal conducts checks and site visits on behalf of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) to ensure that eligible parents receive the correct cost reduction in their childcare fees. Pobal also provides support & guidance to the services to promote their sustainability.
