She's thinking about Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil's promise to offer a universal preschool program for every four-year-old in Nova Scotia. "I am concerned, however, that would have a big impact on our preschool program or any preschool programs in Nova Scotia that is solely a preschool program and not a daycare, infant, toddler-offering spaces."

Melissa Yetman says the preschool program her daughter attends has been very helpful to her development.
