Early Childhood Education
Courses
The Early Childhood Education Diploma program is grounded in the BC Early Learning Framework and emphasizes inclusive, culturally responsive practice, pedagogical documentation, and emergent play- based curriculum. Students learn Indigenous ways of knowing, support inclusive and equitable learning environments, and build strong, ethical partnerships with families. Graduates of the ECE Diploma program meet Ministry of Education and Childcare requirements to become certified Early Childhood Educators, Infant Toddler Educators, and Special Needs Educators in British Columbia.
