The National Childcare Scheme (NCS) is a new scheme that provides financial support to help parents to meet the costs of childcare.

The NCS provides 2 types of childcare subsidy for children over 6 months of age:

• A universal subsidy for children under 3. Children over 3 who have not yet qualified for the ECCE are also eligible. It is not means tested.
• An income-assessed subsidy for children up to 15. It is means tested.

Please log onto www.ncs.mygov.ie and apply through the “Parent Portal”.

Once your grant is approved, we will deduct the approved fee from our weekly fee and parents are required to pay Klever Kidz the balance of their child’s weekly fee.
