National Childcare Scheme
The National Childcare Scheme
The National Childcare Scheme is the first ever statutory entitlement to financial support for childcare.
It establishes an equitable and progressive system of universal and income-related subsidies for children up to the age of 15.
It also provides an innovative and user-friendly online application process to access those subsidies.
Through all of the above, the National Childcare Scheme aims to improve children's outcomes, support lifelong learning, make work pay, reduce child poverty and tangibly reduce the cost of quality childcare for thousands of families across Ireland.
National Childcare Scheme Parent Support Centre is now open for your queries Ph. 01 906 8530 (Open Mon - Fri 9am to 5pm)
