Local Child Care Navigation

Our Inclusion & Childcare Navigator, Melissa Lacroix, has the military lifestyle woven through all aspects of her life. Melissa has been with the MFRC for 17 years, and comes with a background in Early Childhood Education. Melissa brings a unique view to supporting families during their journey to secure quality childcare that works for them. Through individualized chats, tailored resources, and ongoing supports during what can be a very challenging time, Melissa's steady guidance will give you the security you need in your childcare search.

We provide navigational support by:
  • Learning what each family is looking for and tailoring the resources provided.
  • Being available to answer questions regarding the types of childcare available in NS, things to expect, best practices, and questions to ask a potential provider
  • Offering ongoing support, referrals to other programs and services within the H&R MFRC and community resources.

*We do not secure childcare spaces.

*Providing resources to childcare centres or private providers is not an endorsement of their servies.
