to create responsive early learning experiences. Students

and linguistic identities. Emphasis is placed on working
collaboratively with families, within communities and with
other professionals. If you dream of being an early childhood educator, this program will get you started in an exciting career!
A bursary is available to assist students with the cost of early childhood education programs. Summer session applications will be available June 2 at the ECEBC website. For more information please contact ECEBC.

With your ELC diploma, you will also have the specialized knowledge, skills and values necessary to work with infants, toddlers and/or children with diverse abilities.
