Overview

College Diploma In Early Childhood Education

This two-year diploma program prepares students for early learning and child care professional practice. 

Through interactive classroom learning and work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences, students will develop skills that will enable them to collaborate with families, colleagues and communities to design, implement and evaluate inclusive play-based early learning programs. 

Building on a thorough understanding of child development and principles of responsive practice, students will work in partnership with college-operated child development centres, kindergarten classrooms, licensed early learning and care programs and community agencies to integrate classroom theory and practice in meaningful and engaging ways.

Conestoga also offers a degree program related to the early childhood field.

 

Note:

  • The January intake offers the opportunity for accelerated completion. The program is delivered in four consecutive semesters.
  • Successfully completing the Human Services Foundations program before applying to the Early Childhood Education diploma program is an opportunity to obtain a year of personal growth and education that may contribute to success in this career-focused program.
