Childcare Providers! As you know, there is an immediate need for funding to be made available to all preschool children who have additional needs. Regina Bushell, managing director of Grovelands childcare is trying to bring attention to the plight of childcare providers supporting additional needs children with no support from the government parties involved. The campaign started last week. You can support it and sign the petition here…. the more voices the better!Â
Regina says that “The Irish Government needs to recognise that there is an immediate need for funding to be made available to all preschool children who have additional needs. Those of us working with preschool children in today’s Ireland want to do our best for the children in our daily care. It is time to stop waiting for someone else to make the first move.”
Please sign this petition, which is calling on the Government to support those children with additional needs (aged up to five years attending creche or preschool in Ireland) by providing extra funds through the Department of Education.
