ECCE GOVERNMENT SCHEME

In April 2009 the government announced the introduction of The Early Childhood Care & Education Scheme (ECCE). This scheme aims to provide one year of free pre-school education to every child in Ireland aged between 3 years 3 months and 4 years 6 months on 1st September each year.

For more information on this scheme please visit www.dcya.ie or call the Government Helpline on 1890 303039.

Discoveries Crèche & Montessori School is a registered provider of the ECCE Government Scheme

HOW IT WORKS

Discoveries run the free ECCE programme for 3 hours per day (9.15am to 12.15pm or 2.15pm to 5.15pm), 5 days per week for 38 weeks which amounts to 183 open days.

For those children attending on a full/part-time day care basis, your ECCE payment will be applied as a reduction to your fees of €237.50 monthly for 10 months.
