AT THREE LITTLE LAMBS CHILDCARE

The Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE) is an initiative to provide a free pre-school year for children the year before they start primary school.

All children aged between 3 years and 2 months and 4 years and 6 month by 1st September each year are eligible for a free placement of up to 15 hours per week for 38 weeks over one year.

The schedule for the free pre-school year is 3 hours per day over 38 weeks. Children attending on a full-time/part-time schedule who are eligible for the ECCE pre-school year will receive the ECCE grant deducted from their weekly fees.

The ECCE programme begins in September of each year. However we welcome new entrants to the scheme throughout the ECCE term.
