    The National Childcare Scheme (NCS) is an Irish government initiative that helps families cover the cost of early learning and childcare for children aged 24 weeks to 15 years. The scheme pays financial support directly to participating, Tusla-registered childcare providers, who then deduct the subsidy from your fee bill. Depending on your household income, you can avail of either a Universal Subsidy (available to all families) or an Income-Assessed Subsidy, making quality childcare more affordable for parents across Ireland.
