Lending Library

During COVID-19 we will not loan toys but we will continue to loan books. Browsing will be discouraged. Members can email us, or message us through Facebook, to make an appointment and to let us know what items they want to borrow. Items will be selected and bundled for pick up when you arrive. EYCDC staff will also pull books ahead of time for members who have a general idea of what they want but who don’t know specific titles. We are adding more items to Tiny Cat, our online inventory, so searching our inventory will be getting easier and easier. As per public health recommendations, books will go in a 24-hour quarantine before being loaned again.

Here is a simple social story for your return to childcare during COVID-19. It is called We Can’t Hug Yet and it offers children and educators lots of fun and satisfying alternatives. We Can’t Hug Yet Social Story

A workshop may be cancelled by NSCECE if there is insufficient registration or school cancellations due to weather conditions. All efforts will be made to contact all registered participants regarding cancellations. A cancellation notice will also be placed on the home page of our web site. In the event of a cancelled workshop, NSCECE will attempt to re-schedule or credit participants with a workshop voucher for another workshop.

Workshops are non-refundable. A voucher redeemable within one year will be issued if the College is notified of cancellation a minimum of 7 days before the scheduled workshop date. Cancellations after this time will not be eligible for a workshop voucher. Non-attendance does not constitute cancellation and therefore a voucher will not be issued.
