€200,000 for pre-school providers in Mayo
TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has this morning (Friday) announced €205,900 in early years capital funding for pre-school providers in Mayo.
He explained: “This capital funding is specifically for pre-school providers - both community/not-for-profit and private providers - who want to expand their services to cater for more children from September 2016. It’s one of a number of measures we are taking to to increase the number of free pre-school places that will be available across the country over the next year.”
Thirty early years providers will be granted sums of up to €10,000. The money will be used to build/fit out/refurbish an additional room/extension; for minor building alterations; and costs for additional play equipment to facilitate an increase in childcare places.
