The National Childcare Scheme (NCS)
Searsol is a participating provider for the National Childcare Scheme (NCS).
The National Childcare Scheme is a fantastic initiative designed to empower young people up to the age of 15, enabling them to make a positive impact on their lives and communities. Through the NCS program, your child will have access to a diverse range of experiences and opportunities aimed at their personal development.
By registering your child for the NCS scheme and obtaining approval, you’ll receive a payment for course attendance. The rate of payment is determined by your income, with a guaranteed minimum subsidy of €1.40 per class fee.
To check your entitlement and estimate your potential subsidy, you can use the subsidy calculator. Please ensure that you input only one hour of childcare required per week to determine your weekly rate.
Once you’ve successfully obtained approval for the NCS scheme, kindly email us with the following information:
1. Child’s Full Name
2. Date of Birth
3. Chick Number
We will reduce your monthly course fee going forward by the approved amount, ensuring that your child can fully benefit from the NCS program.
