Over €1m in funding has been allocated to expand early learning and childcare services in Kildare as part of a national €25 million investment under the Building Blocks Extension Scheme.
This scheme aims to create 1,500 new childcare places across the country by supporting existing early learning and childcare providers, both community and private, to extend their facilities or develop new premises.

The privately operated Acorn Crèche and Montessori has been awarded €250,000 to establish 34 additional places.

Private operators can qualify for between €50,000 and €250,000 to extend existing premises.
