Early Childhood Education — diploma University of the Fraser Valley

Program Description

UFV’s Early Childhood Education diploma builds on the knowledge and skills obtained through the ECE certificate program. Having established a strong foundation of professional practice with the ECE certificate, you can choose to further your knowledge and competencies to work specifically with infants or children with special needs. These two program options share a common set of three core courses and each requires a different set of three specialty courses, including a 26-hour seminar and a 200-hour practicum. Upon completion of the 1-year program, you can apply to the Provincial Licensing Board to register as a special needs or infancy (under three years of age) supervisor. After you graduate, you are ready to enter the workforce. You can also continue your studies and ladder into the Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care.
