Limerick Childcare Committee Annual Newsletters
Limerick Childcare Committee produce an Annual Newsletter. This Newsletter is targeted at the Early Years Sector, Parents, Students and the general public. Over 15,000 copies are distributed to National Schools, Early Years and After-School Services as well as Childminder’s. The support of the National Schools and Childcare Services have been invaluable to the work of Limerick Childcare Committee. By distributing a copy of the newsletter to each family using their service we can ensure that parents have access to information on a wide range of relevant topics such as the Childcare Schemes.
The Newsletter also includes important updates relevant to the sector on issues relating to funding, qualifications and changes to the regulations.
Newsletters are also distributed to Health Centres and Limerick City and County Council Library branches.
