Diploma in Early Childhood Education

The first years of a child’s life are crucial for their development. During this time, children learn the most, and educators have the opportunity to significantly impact their lives. Are you someone who wants to make a difference? Confederation College’s Early Childhood Education program offers a comprehensive education in the theory and practice of early childhood education. It focuses on play-responsive practice through a holistic lens, including elements of child development, social justice, and an anti-bias curriculum, as well as how children flourish in the world with others. You’ll acquire the skills and knowledge needed to plan early learning programs and create play-responsive environments that nurture each child’s growth, learning, and curiosities. Our courses cover various topics, including play and inquiry-based learning, effective communication, child development, family engagement, guidance, and health, safety, and wellness. This program will provide students with various theoretical approaches to provoke their thinking and inspire their work alongside children and families.
