Overview

College Diploma in Early Childhood Education

Nurture young minds and transform the future

Thanks to Northern College Early Childhood Education program, you’ll thrive as part of a multidisciplinary team that works with infants and children up to 12 years old

And – alongside speech pathologists, behavioural therapists, and parents – you’ll nurture joy and imagination to help these youngsters 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.

You’ll also improve your communication skills, master teaching through play, and plan and implement activities designed to reveal a child’s full potential – no matter their level and unique challenges.

It’s a rewarding two-year diploma guaranteed to jump-start your career as an ECE (Early Childhood Educator). And it all wraps up with a 600-hour fieldwork placement that will set you up for success.

Children’s Play Lab

The Children’s Play Lab provides students with the opportunity to design, set up, monitor and make improvements to the early years learning environment. 

Partnerships with local early learning centres will provide students with the unique opportunity to work closely with young children in a controlled environment.
