Course Details

Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs are based on the application of the latest findings in child development.

Our pedagogical framework is based on Take Wings: A Framework for Early Learning and Child Care Programs in Alberta.

It emphasizes relational practices that enhance the child's image as a powerful learner and citizen, through an adapted environment.

The programs are developed specifically in the context of the French-speaking minority, through the language development of children living in a multicultural French-speaking environment.

Our teachers also have years of experience working in French-language daycare centers and early childhood centers in minority settings.

Training

Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs combine lectures with a practicum component. This formula gives students real-life experience in a professional workplace.

Specifically, the first year of the ECE program comprises 450 hours of coursework, with 2 internships of 96 and 280 hours respectively.

The second year also includes 450 hours of courses with 2 internships, this time of 120 and 280 hours, respectively. Navigate to the course details pages to see the official internship descriptions.Internships must be completed in person.
