School may finish in the afternoon but for many families, the day is far from over! If you’re using an after-school childcare service, the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) can help reduce the cost of registered childcare, making it easier to balance work, study and family life.

This October, check what supports are available to you and your family through www.ncs.gov.ie and apply today!
