AIM Sessions
There is no need to edit the name of your AIM standard sessions created previously.
AIM Plus
- You must create your AIM Plus sessions before creating an AIM Plus application. We recommend adding a reference to the session type i.e. “Butterfly Room – Plus – pm”. This will allow a service provider to easily identify the correct session to add a child to on their AIM Plus application.
- Please note on the AIM Plus application, a child cannot be added to a session that they attend for AIM Standard.
- Where a child is attending an a.m. session for AIM Standard i.e. attending ECCE from 9am-12pm, they cannot avail of AIM Plus during 9am-12pm.
AIM Non-Term
- You must create your AIM Non-Term sessions before creating an AIM Non-Term application. We recommend adding a reference to the session type i.e. “Butterfly Room – Non-Term”. This will allow a service provider to easily identify the correct session to add a child to on their AIM Non-Term application.
- Please submit all non-term weeks a child is expected to attend during the year. For each period you must add a child to each session day i.e. For Halloween mid-term, if a child is attending 5 days of the week you must add the child to a session for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If the child is also attending for the Christmas non-ECCE weeks for 5 days, you must also add the child to a session for each day of the week.
