Speech from the Throne Nova Scotia Liberal Government, Sept 24/14 Page 13 States: My government, through the department of Education and Early Childhood Development, has already started a review of regulated child-care programs. This review is focusing on the safety of children in childcare and identifying ways to make childcare more accessible and affordable for families, enhancing the quality of programming for children, and supporting staff who work with our youngest children. Recommendations from the review will be ready in the spring of 2015. My government supports an integrated approach that will enable partnerships with community-based providers of programs and services for young children, pre-birth to school entry. Four Early Years centres have been established within regional school boards, with four new sites planned for 2014–15. These centres are located within a school and are a model of integrated service delivery, which links programs within the early-years sector.nslegislature.ca/.../ThroneSpeechSeptember252014.pdf
