Are you in high school and considering 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.

Consider volunteering or working at an Early Learning Program to learn more about a career as an ECE.

Talk to your guidance counsellor about:

  • Taking a related co-op
  • Registering for a dual credit in this field
  • Program requirements to enter into a post-secondary program
  • Applying for bursaries or grants
