Pobal would like to remind providers that the latest an approved provider can register a child on the ECCE programme is 6 weeks after the child’s start date.

For example, a child that started on the ECCE programme on 28 August must be registered no later than this Friday 06 October.

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth (DECDIY)  reserves the right not to backdate funding on any late registrations (i.e., more than 6 weeks after the child’s start date).

In cases of late registrations, proofs of the child’s start date and attendance must be submitted to the Scheme Administrator, or the registration will be declined.
