At Alternatives we believe the people who share their lives with us may be the ones in our families and communities with the most knowledge about complications of love and hurt, and, the most skill at responding. We define “family” and “community” with great care around diversity. We work collaboratively with others in our communities committed to:
- addressing replications of violence within our social responses to violence, and
- developing helpful practices together with individuals, families and communities.

The Memory Lane Family Place is located at 22 Memory Lane in Lower Sackville and has been delivering programs and services since early 1994.
All projects and programs are sponsored by the Sackville Family Day Care Association, a non-profit charitable organization, established in 1980. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Projects are administered from the Family Place, under the direction of highly trained and qualified staff.
Parent advisory committees support program management. Participant involvement and community partnerships are core elements in service delivery. The centre works from a capacity building perspective, where children and families are embraced in a supportive environment.
Projects offered from the MLFP include the Family Home Day Care Program – the Family Support Project – the provincially-licensed Memory Lane Family Place Preschool – and the Community Action Program for Children.
All programs are free of charge, with the exception of the subsidized Family Home Day Care and the Preschool Programs.
