Message from the Owner
As I reflect back on the years of Friends for Life, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and gratitude. In 2005, I was expecting my first child, Kennedy, and found myself looking for childcare in our community of Hatchet Lake. As wait lists were quite extensive at that time, I saw an opportunity for our community and opened our doors on September 1, 2005. My daughter was only 2 months old and I had a vision that when she started childcare, she would be making “Friends for Life”. That still holds true as some of my daughter’s best friends today were our babies at Friends for Life in 2005.
We have certainly experienced a lot of change over the years. We first started with 16 families in Hatchet Lake, and have since expanded operations to the communities of Upper Tantallon, Halifax, Dartmouth, East Hants, Beaverbank, and Truro with a total of 595 families!
