Day Care
About
Established in 1974, the East Preston Day Care Centre is a fully licensed day care offering care to children aged 3 months to 10 years. Using an emergent curriculum, we have diverse programming that caters to each child’s individual needs and interests, while encouraging them to learn together, side-by-side. Through play, education, and discovery, children are able to grow independently while still interacting with one another and exploring what it means to be part of a community.
We have full meal and snack services. All food is cooked from scratch, and with love, in our on-site kitchen, and we’re able to cater to any dietary restrictions or needs. All of our child care providers have gone through extensive background checks and are up-to-date on First Aid/CPR.
The East Preston Day Care Centre is open to any family in HRM, and prides itself on our feeling of community, shared experiences, and love. Many of our children begin their journey with us as infants, and stay with our programming throughout their lives, eventually starting their own family and accessing services at our Family Resource Centre. We truly foster a sense of togetherness!
