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 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 learned in the classroom. The program offers students a unique balance between theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
