Advance Your Career! Get the job-ready skills you need to start an in-demand career

Working with children is a demanding but inspiring job. Communities are always looking for enthusiastic and well-trained graduates to fill various dynamic positions in early childhood education. The Early Childhood Education certificate program at Vancouver Career College combines theory and practical knowledge to prepare you for a rewarding career in child care.

The core curriculum focuses on child growth and development, guidance skills, relationship building, behaviour management, health, safety and program planning. You also learn how to use music, drama, art and movement to enable learning. After completing the required courses, you can apply for an Early Childhood Educator Assistant (ECEA) certificate through the Early Childhood Education Registry. Hands-on training also plays a key role in the program.

Several observation modules are designed so you can work with trained educators and Vancouver Career College faculty. As a program graduate, you will be ready to embark on a career in the non-profit and profit sectors. Many early childhood educator positions are available in community facilities, including day cares, preschools, nursery schools and family service centres.
