Specialized Supports in Pre-Primary

Pre-Primary is a fully inclusive program that welcomes all children. Early Childhood Educators(ECE) will work alongside families to learn the unique and special story of each child. The goal is always for child success. 

To support responsive programming for all children, it is extremely important that parents/guardians share with the school information related to their child’s learning styles, cultural backgrounds, strengths, challenges, interests, personal care, and/or medical diagnosis.

For each site, there is a Pre-Primary Supervisor and Pre-Primary Assistant Supervisor that supports the program. To  ensure your child's needs are met, the Pre-Primary team works in  collaboration with many service providers, including: 

• Nova Scotia Early Childhood Developmental Intervention Services;

• Nova Scotia Hearing and Speech;

• IWK Infant and Preschool Rehabilitation Service Clinics (for physiotherapy and occupational therapy); and 

• IWK Early Intensive Behavioural Program for preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
