Early Childhood Care & Education Diploma

Build on your ECCE certificate as you specialize your skills in the field of early childhood education. You can choose to concentrate your education in two areas: working collaboratively with families in the care of infants and toddlers and/or with children who require extra support.

 

Practice Experience

Practicums are an essential component of the Early Childhood Care and Education program, giving you the opportunity to put your theory and knowledge into practice under the direction of qualified early childhood educators. Before beginning your practicum, you will have opportunity to consult with faculty to collaboratively plan your practicum placement. Please note, while the majority of practicums occur where you live, it may be necessary to complete a practicum outside of your community. You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from practicum settings.

My mentors and instructors really encouraged me to continue my education. They saw I had a spark and a natural talent for this field of work, and they were right. I absolutely adore my job. I have one of the most rewarding careers. I found my calling and truly what I want to do with my life.
