I can't really tell and I haven't read the other post. If in your transcript you have courses related to early childhood then I believe you should be ok. Will try and see if I can send you a copy of my degree and experience classification from the department of early childhood in Nova scotia. I sent this letter to support my application, at least to speed up the process. Send me your email and I will send you a copy of the letter I received from them.

I scan everything and send them through email. It is faster.
If your ECA was done by WES, you can request to also get a course by course evaluation. Then they can send everything to the Department of Education in Nova Scotia, in this way they can look at each course and see if some of them were specific on early childhood.
