Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) have a lasting, positive impact on the development of children, and provide an essential support for families, communities, and society. Early literacy and numeracy, socialization, indoor and outdoor physical activities, and creative experience in art, music, movement, and dramatic play, are some of the areas in which students will acquire knowledge and skills to support and encourage children's development. Students will have the opportunity to apply their learning on field placements, with different age groups, in the College's demonstration child care centres and a variety of child care settings.

After opening my centre I completed my Early Childhood Diploma in distance program. It was valuable knowledge I obtained as I still worked. This experience has enhanced the quality program in my child care centres.

In order to complete my ECE Diploma, I value the availability of the program in a Distributed Learning format. As I am working full-time and the the mother of a young child, this flexibility will allow me to complete the two courses I need at my own pace while using my computer at home.
