The Memory Lane Family Place Preschool program is licensed by the Department of Community Services and meets all provincial regulations. A copy of the Day Care Act, which outlines these regulations can be found at http://www.gov.ns.ca/coms/department/Legislation.html. We encourage parents to read the Act, so that you are informed of what is required from the MLFP preschool on behalf of you and your children.

Following are some details on the program. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss with staff. The MLFP has an open-door policy for all of its programs and parent feedback is both encouraged and appreciated.

• Under our license, school readiness programs are offered to two separate groups of children, who attend two weekly sessions over a nine month period  (mid-September to mid-June).

• Each group has a maximum of 12 children, who will be entering the school system the following year. Each group has one trained, qualified staff and one experienced assistant.

• Programs are designed to provide early learning experiences for children which focuses on their physical, intellectual, emotional and social development.

• One of the goals of the MFLP Preschool program is to offer affordable, accessible services and to accommodate children, who for various reasons, may face challenges/barriers in receiving preschool education.

• In an effort to accomplish this goal, fees are kept as low as possible and are set, based on a sliding fee schedule. Transportation is available for children, who have no way of coming to the centre.

• Referrals are also taken from community agencies to accommodate children with identified varied abilities.
