Our program philosophy ensures that students learn the skills necessary to plan and implement play-based learning that supports children in all areas of their development. Students will learn how to be responsive caregivers to facilitate a child's feelings of self-worth and social-emotional resiliency. Partnerships with parents, families, other professionals, and community programs are encouraged. These connections form the foundation of working in the field of early learning and care. Field placements offer students the opportunity to practise the skills and techniques that are learned in the classroom. The Early Childhood Education program at Georgian College offers students a unique balance between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. mandatory courses: cOURSE cODE cOURSE TITLE pAGE ECED 1012 Child Development: Conception to four years EQUIV.: Child Development 1 (ECED 1022) OL 58 58 ECED 1013 Experiences in Language Arts 58 ECED 1014 Nurturing Infants and Toddlers 58 ECED 1018 Introduction to ECE –– ECED 1021 Math, Science and Creative Art –– ECED 1025 Children's health and Wellness 58 ECED 1026 Supporting Preschool Children 59 ECED 1027 Preparation for Field Placement –– ECED 1028 School Age Development and Programming –– ECED 1029 Observation Techniques –– ECED 1030 Music and Movement –– ECED 1031 Field Placement Seminar 1 –– ECED 2011 Social/Emotional health and Behaviour –– ECED 2012 Administration and Performance Management EQUIV.: Supervision and Administration (ECED 2020) OL 58 59 ECED 2014 Partnerships with Families EQUIV.: Working with Parents (ECED 2019) OL –– –– ECED 2021 Best Practices in Early Intervention –– ECED 2022 Responding to Child Care Trends 58 ECED 2023 Field Placement Seminar 2 –– ECED 2025 Ethics and Advocacy –– ECED 2026 Personal and Professional Wellness 58 ECED 2027 Adaptive Communication Strategies 58 ECED 2028 Field Placement Seminar 3 –– field Placements: cOURSE cODE cOURSE TITLE pAGE ECED 1032 Field Placement: Early Learning 1 –– ECED 2024 Field Placement: Early Learning 2 –– ECED 2029 Field Placement: unique –– communications courses: To be selected at time of registration from the college list (see pages 51 – 52), as determined by testing. general education courses: To be selected from the college list (see pages 63 – 65).
