Government Schemes
At Bizzy B's, we understand how overwhelming it can be to research and determine which government scheme your child may be eligible for in Early Years Childcare. To make things easier, we’ve compiled key information about the three schemes available at Bizzy B's Preschool. As always, we’re here to assist you further—just click the “Chat Now” icon, and we’ll be happy to help!
ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education)
Bizzy B’s is registered as a ‘Part-time Service’ with Tusla. For children enrolled in the government pre-school scheme, the government provides €64.50 per child. This means we offer structured daycare for pre-school children for more than 3.5 hours up to 5 hours per day.
Parents can choose the option of a daily three-and-a-half-hour pre-school session. However, priority is given to those who select the part-time hours. Our weekly fee for full time students on ECCE is €26.70 per child, payable at the start of each term (a term covers a period of 4 weeks)
The National Childcare Scheme
Universal Subsidies are available for all families with children under three years old. They are also available for families with children over three who have not yet qualified for the free preschool program (ECCE). This subsidy is not means-tested and provides a minimum of €2.14 per hour towards the cost of a registered childcare place, up to a maximum of 40 hours per week.
Income-Assessed Subsidies are available for families with children aged between 24 weeks and 15 years. This subsidy is means-tested, meaning the amount you receive depends on your family income, your child’s age and educational stage, and the number of children in your family. The subsidy can be used for up to 40 hours per week if you are working, studying, or training, or if you are unavailable for childcare. If you are not working, studying, or training, you can receive a maximum of 15 hours per week.
Access Inclusion Model (AIM)
The Access and Inclusion Model (AIM) was introduced in June 2016, with support available for children starting from September 2016.
AIM is designed to help children with disabilities access the ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education) program. Its goal is to assist preschool providers in creating an inclusive environment, so every eligible child can fully participate and benefit from quality early years education.
AIM is a child-centered model offering seven levels of support, ranging from universal to targeted, based on the individual needs of the child and the preschool setting.
At Bizzy B's we have two LINC Gradates. These coordinators provide leadership inclusion for early years.
