College Certificate - Early Childhood Education
About College Certificate - Early Childhood Education
With a class called play, student's know they are in the right place.
Student's learn everything they need to know to create experiences and environments that enhance their development from infancy to school age in an early learning setting.
As student's work towards their one-year certificate and two-year diploma, they will learn how to:
- Use observation skills to create experiences for young children based on their interests and needs.
- Design learning environments that invite play and exploration both indoors and outside in our new natural playscape.
- Develop relationships and support children and their families.
- Run an early learning program.
Each semester has a practicum. The third practicum is unique to Lakeland College. Student's set up and host a play program for the community. Together, student's will:
- Plan and promote the play program.
- Hold an open house for families.
- Create experiences and environments for the children.
- Guide children's learning and reflect on the experience.
