WCCC was formed in 2001 and is funded by the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE) to improve the quality of childcare in Co. To advance and support the provision of childcare facilities on a local level, City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs) were established in 2001. Funded by the DCEDIY, 30 of these organisations operate across Ireland and over the last 15 years have been

at the centre of all state developments and initiatives aimed at supporting the early years sector. In addition to supporting the administration of all Government funding programmes for childcare, City and County Childcare Committees act as the local ‘one stop shop’ for early childhood services, childminders and parents looking for support with quality development, HR, governance, financial sustainability and continuing professional development. Collectively, City and County Childcare Committees have a national reach into all 4,300 early childhood services across Ireland.

Síolta and Aistear highlight the important role families play in the lives of babies, toddlers, young children and school age children.

Partnerships with families are key to supporting each child’s learning and development. Building and maintaining trusting relationships with families is a responsibility shared by all early years educators. It is an ongoing process that takes time and commitment.

This resource from the Aistear Síolta Practice Guide, developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), highlights how communication, trust and shared understanding support meaningful collaboration between educators and families.

These everyday interactions play an important role in supporting inclusion across settings.
