The 16-month (four terms) Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Diploma program prepares you to provide quality child care in various settings and plan emergent play experiences for the children in your care.
You will gain knowledge in child development, family dynamics, play, and program planning that will equip you to support the healthy development of children through child-centred learning experiences.
This program at Bow Valley College combines theory and practice, and graduates are eligible for Level 3 Early Childhood Educator (formerly Child Development Supervisor) certification from the Alberta Government.
There are daytime and evening classes scheduled throughout the week.
The practicum, however, must be completed physically onsite at a licensed childcare program in Alberta.
The ECED learning lab combines classroom space with interactive children’s learning centres, including an artist studio, a reading centre, a dramatic play centre, and a sensory-motor centre.
This innovative and engaging environment supports the transition of theory to practice as students can engage with children in the lab space.
You can put your knowledge into practice in an overseas community working with community schools and agencies. In the past, learners have gone to rural Uganda, Jamaica, and Guyana.
