The Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE)
This provides early childhood care and education for children of pre-school age. The State pays participating playschools and daycare services a set amount per child for the ECCE service. In return, participating centres and playschools provide a pre-school service free of charge to all children within the qualifying age range. The service is for a set number of hours over a set period of weeks. The programme is available to children who have turned 2 years and 8 months of age before 1 September. Children can continue in the programme until they transfer to primary school if they are not older than 5 years and 6 months at the end of the pre-school year on 30 June. If your child has special needs they may get an exemption from the ECCE upper age limit. To get a place for your child, apply to a participating playschool or daycare centre.
