The Community Childcare Subvention Scheme (CCSS)

The Community Childcare Subvention Scheme (CCSS) 2008-2010 operates as part of the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006-2010, which is administered by the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (OMCYA). It is a support scheme for community based childcare services to provide quality childcare at reduced rates to disadvantaged parents.

The scheme operates through a tiered fee system, with maximum and minimum fees set at appropriate levels. Childcare services will be subsidised to enable reduced fees to be charged to certain groups of parents. All monies received under the subvention scheme will go directly to the childcare service.

More details of this scheme are available from County Childcare Committees and the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (OMCYA)
