There are 30 City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs) which coordinate the implementation of national early learning and childcare policy and programmes at a local level on behalf of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration & Youth.
CCCs support parents and guardians to understand their early learning and childcare options and keep an updated directory of Early Learning Care (ELC) and School Age Childcare (SAC) services in their local areas as well as maintaining and publishing a list of local Parent & Toddler Groups, which you can find here.
CCCs support the implementation of a range of policies and programmes and are available to assist parents in applying for such schemes as the National Childcare Scheme (NCS), theEarly Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE) and the Access and Inclusion Model (AIM). The CCCs also have a role in ensuring childcare provider fees are compliant with the relevant Government schemes and programmes.
