Dear 1st Year Student:
I am pleased to welcome you to the 2019 – 2020 academic year at Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education. You have chosen a program with an excellent reputation whose roots go back nearly 50 years to the beginnings of early childhood education as a profession and academic discipline in Nova Scotia. The faculty, staff, and I hope you will find this year engrossing, stimulating and challenging. You are entering a professional program that will challenge and change you profoundly over the next two years. Below you will find some information to help you prepare for your first year of study.
