Parents' Experiences with Pre-Primary
Nova Scotia families can access free, universal pre-primary education for four-year-olds, over the next four years. This is an investment in our youngest Nova Scotians that will help them transition more easily into their school years, and identify those who will need additional supports once they begin school a little earlier.
Moving the four-year-olds into the school system frees up thousands of spaces in early learning centres, allowing those centres to focus on infants and toddlers.
