Early Learning and Child Care courses are based on a philosophy that children thrive in developmentally appropriate, child-centered play programs that use a problem-solving approach to guidance. Practical experience with children is an integral part of the program. Keyano College's Early Learning and Child Care Certificate program gives students the skills and credentials needed to work in the child care field. Learn how to create child-centered play programs, give guidance through problem solving, and inspire learning. Students will gain practical experience with children and learn the best practices for child care at each stage of a child's development.

After graduating, students will be able to:

• Support exploration through play • Observe and properly document a child's learning and behaviour • Foster creativity by actively engaging children in meaningful exploration • Create vibrant environments for children in a variety of child care settings

Students will gain a richer understanding of diversity, relationships, and issues related to working as a child care professional.
