Program description
One can earn a diploma in two years from George Brown College by enrolling in the Early Childhood Education (C100) program.
You will study the holistic development of a variety of age groups, including:
- infants (from six weeks)
- toddlers
- preschoolers
- school-aged children (to 12 years)
You will get the chance to interact with families and the community at large while learning how to create and administer programs that benefit children's education.
We've set up the curriculum so that students spend time both in the classroom and out in the field. As you practice putting what you've learned in the classroom into practice, you'll gain confidence in your abilities and knowledge. Our graduates are highly sought after by employers because they are well-prepared to begin working as early childhood educators immediately upon graduation.
