The Early Learning & Child Care Diploma builds upon the certificate program, preparing students to work in early learning programs in a supervisory capacity. There are five start dates during the academic year, and each start date contains a different unit within the academic year.

The Diploma program emphasizes the development of knowledgeable and skilled practitioners who can model and lead best practices in early learning and childcare environments. The program’s course content provides students with advanced knowledge and skills in areas such as development, health, and family, among other related domains.
