Description:

This Ontario College Diploma program is offered in an accelerated format and can be completed in one year. The Early Childhood Education program prepares students for their future roles as early childhood educators. Academic courses combined with field placements contribute to the students' knowledge and understanding of the child's needs and their ability to provide programs which promote the child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. Students learn to observe, diagnose learning needs, assess levels of skill development and design, as well as implement stimulating programs for children.
