About Us

​Our philosophy

​

​The Sunshine Creche & Montessori offers the environment  which is safe and secure,  stimulating, and challenging. We consider each child as an individual and recognize and value the qualities they bring to the group.

ECCE 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 educational 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 check your child's eligibility.

​

 

 

If your child is eligible for the scheme then

 

you are entitled to a pre-school session of 3

 

hours per day, 5 days per week, 38 weeks per

 

year, for which you will not be charged

 

anything.​

NCS - National Childcare Scheme: ​

​

The National Childcare Scheme is our pathway to truly accessible, affordable, quality childcare. From late November 2019 had replaced all previous targeted childcare programmes with a single, streamlined and user-friendly Scheme to help parents meet the cost of quality childcare. 

Supports are available for families with children aged between 24 weeks and 15 years who are attending any participating Tusla registered childcare service.

For more information click ncs.gov.ie.

​

There are two types of subsidies under the National Childcare Scheme:

​

Universal Subsidies are available to all families with children under three years old. They are also available to families with children over three years who have not yet qualified for the free preschool programme (ECCE). This subsidy is not means tested and provides 50c per hour towards the cost of a registered childcare place for up to a maximum of 40 hours per week.  

​

Income Assessed Subsidies are available to families with children aged between 24 weeks and 15 years. This subsidy is means tested and will be calculated based on your individual circumstances. Your rate will vary depending on your level of family income, your child’s age and educational stage, and the number of children in your family. The subsidy can be used towards the cost of a registered childcare place for up to a maximum of 40 hours if you are working, studying or training, or in circumstances where you are unavailable for childcare, and a maximum of 15 hours if you are not working, studying or training.
