Upon graduation, students will be equipped to thrive as part of a multidisciplinary team that works with infants and children up to 12 years old. You will have the opportunity to nurture learning and imagination to help these children to transition successfully to the school system.
In a dynamic group learning environment, you’ll explore how to best support a child’s growth with creative strategies that leverage their natural stages of development.
The Children’s ECE Play Lab provides students with the opportunity to design, setup, monitor and make improvements to an early years learning environment. Partnerships with local early learning centres will provide our students with the unique opportunity to work closely with young children in a controlled environment.
All students must meet the Year 1 Placement Permit Requirements [PDF, 162 KB] in order to be registered in the two (2) fall and two (2) winter semester courses that have an ECE Play Lab component. Students who do not meet this requirement may be withdrawn from these courses after Day 10 of the semester.
Early Childhood Education – Distance Delivery (A015)
Our Distance Early Childhood Education Program is offered fully online. The ECE distance program is synchronous, meaning, classes are scheduled at a specific day and time with an expectation of online attendance. It is important to note that some classes (i.e. Preparation for Placement, Fieldwork Placement, and Seminar) have mandatory attendance and participation requirements. A working camera and microphone are required as they allow students to participate and engage with classmates and the course material.
Though students in the Distance program will not have access to the ECE Play Lab at the Timmins Campus, they will be required to complete all ECE Lab components within their community. All Distance students must meet the Year 1 Placement Permit Requirements [PDF, 162 KB] in order to be registered in the two (2) fall and two (2) winter semester courses that have an ECE Play Lab component. Students who do not meet this requirement may be withdrawn from these courses after Day 10 of the semester.
Distance students can do their placements in the city/town of their choice, but placements are done in-person at an approved childcare agency or kindergarten classroom. Placements are generally completed in the last semester of our program.
The Timmins Campus and Distance Early Childhood Education programs are vigorous. For this reason, part-time pathways are available. Please contact the program coordinator to discuss this option.
