Changes to the funding schemes for this September 2012
Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) programme
From September 2012 all services participating in the scheme will move to a single 38 week model
According to the DCYA the move to the single 38 week model, has the following implications:
- The pre-school programme will be provided on the basis of 3 hours per day, 5 days per week for 38 weeks
- The full pre-school provision may not be provided over fewer than 5 days
- Where a child attends the service on fewer than 5 days per week, the capitation fee will be reduced on a pro-rata basis
- Arrangements can be made between provider and parent to have the benefit of the capitation fee over 50 weeks
- Full day providers can apply for the higher capitation rate
