In addition to providing quality early learning and child care for families in Halifax and Dartmouth, NSCECE's three lab schools provide ECE students with observation and practicum opportunities.
The lab schools are an integral component of the training and education of our early childhood education students. Students connect with the lab schools during the program of studies through assignments, observations, class presentations and practicum experiences. The lab school staff welcome students’ participation in their programs and are eager to offer support as students complete their assignments.
