DCCC was established in 2002 and is one of 30 City and County Childcare Committees operating nationally. Funded by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration & Youth to develop, support and enhance early learning and care and school-age childcare services within the remit of Dublin City.
DCCC works proactively and in partnership with the sector to encourage best practice, quality, sustainable and effective Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare services for children.
We work with home-based childminders, providing information and advice on setting up a childminding service, managing a childminding business and supporting them to become registered with Tusla.
We also work with parents and families to provide support and advice in sourcing the best possible early learning and care solution to meet their family's needs and circumstances.
We are the first point of contact for anyone seeking advice, information or support in relation to early childhood care and education within Dublin City.
