ECCE - EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE & EDUCATION SCHEME

The ECCE is a new scheme designed to give children access to a free Pre School Year of appropriate programme based activities in the year before they start primary school. Participation in a pre school programme provides children with their first formal experience of early learning, the starting point of their education and social development outside the home. Children who avail of pre-school are more likely to be ready for school and a formal learning and social environment.

To read more on the free Pre School Year see our Guide for Parents to the free Pre School Year in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) (File Size: 259KB) or our Frequently Asked Questions on the ECCE Scheme (File Size: 48KB).
