THE DONEGAL COUNTY CHILDCARE COMMITTEE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Donegal County Childcare Committee (DCCC) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting quality in early childhood care and education throughout County Donegal. By acting as a central hub for information, support and advocacy, the Committee helps families, childcare providers and childminders navigate the sector with confidence.

For parents, DCCC offers a comprehensive "Find Childcare" service, guidance on funding options, quality-recognition schemes and resources for children with additional needs. Providers benefit from a suite of tools covering the National Childcare Scheme, the ECCE Programme, access and inclusion models, grant opportunities, business-start-up advice, inspection processes and best-practice quality frameworks. Childminders receive specialised information on regulations, the Childminder Service and dedicated grant programmes.

In addition to these core services, the Committee keeps the community up-to-date with news, events and training opportunities, reinforcing its role as the go-to resource for early years provision in Donegal. Its collaborative approach, supported by parents, providers and other stakeholders, ensures that every child in the county has the best possible start in life.
