Lobbying activity
The following activities occurred for this specific Subject Matter Area.
Letter (2-5)
We sent letter, emails seeking support from TD's.
Prior to the renovation of St. Laurence O'Toole's Primary School, they had a prep year where children joined on their 4th birthday. This freed up spaces in our community creche and allowed for intakes throughout the year. However, the school doesn't provide for prep year and we only have 1 intake each year. Our waiting list is growing beyond what we can provide so we drew up a plan to provide year 2 of ECCE (4- 5yrs) but required space/classroom. If successful, our plan was to move children at age 4 across to new site into ECCE 2 group (which would be staffed & funded under our childcare contract) freeing up spaces. We are one of very few providers who have limited places for babies and if moving the older ECCE children on, has the ripple effect of moving all children, creating spaces across the board.
