Are you considering a new career as an ECE?
Early Childhood Educators play a critical role in building healthy and strong children, families and communities. Their specialized expertise in developing cognitive, physical, emotional and social growth in children are urgently needed. Those who answer that call lead both personally and professionally rewarding careers.
Several Colleges across Ontario offer the Early Childhood Education Program through a variety of delivery methods such as in-class, distance learning (on-line) or apprenticeship programs.
Consider volunteering at an Early Learning Program to learn more about a career as an ECE or consider opening your own home-based business and becoming a Licensed Home Child Care Provider.
