● Personal information is collected on this website when individuals submit forms such as
contact forms, wait list applications, or surveys, and when feedback is provided through
channels like Google reviews. The information collected may include names, contact details,
children’s basic particulars, and any other details necessary to respond to inquiries, process
enrollment, or maintain communication regarding childcare services.
● All information is collected with explicit consent and solely for the purposes of administering
childcare services, responding to specific requests, or maintaining communication as required
by the sender. Information entered through online forms is not stored on the website itself;
instead, it is securely stored and managed in a third-party Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) system (GoHighLevel), which complies with privacy legislation and best practice
standards. No financial data is requested, stored, or processed on this website.
● Personal information collected is retained only as long as needed to fulfill its intended purpose,
consistent with Nova Scotia privacy requirements and Early Learning and Child Care
Regulations. All reasonable security measures are implemented to protect collected personal
information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse at all times.
● This website uses cookies and Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical information
about how visitors navigate the site. The information collected may include pages visited, time
spent on the website, how visitors arrived, and general details about browser or device type.
No identifiable personal information is collected, stored, or used through these technologies.
● Google Analytics data is used solely to analyze and improve site experience and functionality.
The information collected is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. Data
collected by Google Analytics may be processed or stored outside of Canada.

● Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected via this website is not sold, traded, or shared
with outside parties, except where required by Nova Scotia law for child care licensing,
inspection, or regulatory review. Disclosure will only occur when necessary to fulfill licensing
obligations or respond to legitimate, lawful requests from authorized government bodies, in
accordance with applicable privacy and childcare legislation. All disclosures are handled
securely and only after confirming they are legally required.
● No third-party products or services are offered directly on this website. This website may
contain links to third-party sites for visitor convenience; however, these links do not constitute
an endorsement and are provided solely as additional resources. The privacy practices and
policies of linked third-party websites are not governed by this website’s privacy policy, and

personal information.
Personal information provided to our childcare service may be stored and processed by third-party
service providers. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and only use it for
authorized purposes. Where third-party storage occurs outside Nova Scotia or Canada, your personal
information may be subject to foreign laws. We select partners with stringent privacy protections and
monitor their compliance with all relevant privacy legislation and childcare regulations.

Personal information submitted for contact purposes is retained. Site users have the right to request
access to any personal data held and to request correction or deletion, in accordance with Nova
Scotia’s Personal Information International Disclosure Protection Act (PIIDPA) and federal privacy
