Other employment possibilities include family day homes, hospital playrooms, health unit programs, recreation programs, early intervention, family visitor programs, children's libraries, or with private families. The ECD program is based on the philosophy that children thrive in developmentally appropriate, child-centered play programs that use a problem solving method of guidance. ECD courses vary in length from 30 to 45 hours. Applicants must fill out a personal health record and immunization form. Practicum settings make up approximately half of ECD students' time.
Students work to apply course learnings to their practice with young children.
Continuation in the program depends on successful completion of each practicum experience. Your comments and questions are welcomed. All rights reserved.
