€1.2 million in capital grants for 263 providers nationwide under the‘School Age Childcare Grants’ Scheme
Local Minister Denis Naughten is pleased to announce that children across Roscommon-Galway will benefit from further Government funding to improve existing after-school childcare services. “€1.2 million has been allocated nationally to 263 providers by my Independent Cabinet colleague, Dr. Katherine Zappone, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and more than €130,000 of this funding has been allocated to Roscommon-Galway providers,” states Minister Naughten.
Minister Denis Naughten can confirm that 10 after-school childcare providers in Roscommon will benefit from funding totalling almost €50,000. The allocation of approx. €5,000 for each provider will ensure quality after-school childcare for our children. Across Galway, Minister Naughten is also confirming that 18 after-school childcare providers have been allocated more than €80,000 under this funding.
“Providers will use this allocation to provide age appropriate play equipment that will stimulate children mentally and physically,” added Naughten. “The allocation will ensure the comforts and activities children enjoy at home or in school are equally available at after-school care providers. “Under Minister Zappone’s leadership, childcare in Ireland is changing significantly. I am working with Minister Zappone to ensure that parents and providers are given every possible support as we transform our childcare system from being one of the most expensive in the world into one of the best and most affordable. I encourage parents to visit www.affordablechildcare.ie to see new supports that are available,” added Minister Naughten.
