Caring for a small group of children in your own home is a rewarding experience and meets a critical need for quality child care. Offered in partnership with BC Family Child Care Association, the 36 hour "Good Beginnings" course provides potential and current family child care providers with the attitudes, knowledge and skills to ensure a high quality experience for young children and their families.
Offered each fall and spring term, this course runs for 10 evenings and 1 Saturday. While classroom attendance is recommended for Lower Mainland residents, a self-paced correspondence course is also offered for home study from September through June each year. Correspondence course fees include all materials and tutor support by telephone and/or e-mail. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
