The Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) Diploma gives students the competencies and knowledge to work with children under five in licensed preschools and childcare centres.
Education courses in the diploma meet the requirements of the Early Childhood Educator Registry for the ECE Certificate to Practice; Infant/Toddler Certificate to Practice and/or the Special Needs Certificate to Practice. Students who successfully complete an ECCE diploma can apply to the degree program. |
