More than **one million children** have now been funded through Ireland’s Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Programme.

A new documentary, **Shaping the Future**, celebrates this milestone and explores the important role pre-school education plays in the lives, learning and wellbeing of young children and their families.

The documentary also shines a light on the professionalism, dedication and commitment of early years educators and providers across Ireland.

📅 **Saturday, 29 August**
⏰ **12.00pm**
📺 **Virgin Media Television**

For parents whose children have experienced ECCE — or who are preparing for that stage — this is a chance to see more of the people, experiences and early learning that sit behind the programme.
