Capital Investments in Child Care Infrastructure
We’re creating more child care spaces across the Province.
We are working hard to increase access to early learning and child care spaces for more children and families across the Province.
Our long term vision is that all children and families have access to high-quality, affordable early learning and child care. We’re steadily working to create new licensed early learning and child care spaces across Nova Scotia. We’re creating a mix of infant, toddler, preschool spaces and before and after school spaces.
