Program Overview

Our program focuses on the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children and their interaction with the world around them. You will learn to assess children’s learning; support and educate children in a meaningful way; understand how to create interventions; and know how to work with children in a variety of settings.


Your first year introduces you to the domains of child development and theories and foundations of early childhood. In your second year, you learn the basics of human anatomy and physiology; how to create curriculum; observation and research skills; dynamics of relationships; and how biases impact our interactions with children and families.


See first-hand how learning environments can support diversity and inclusion for children with a range of abilities when you use our interactive classroom. It facilitates and enriches learning with Smart Boards, whiteboard walls, specialized seating (pods) and desks, wiggle chairs and integrated technology.


In your third and fourth years, you learn how to develop curriculum in educational and therapeutic settings. The curriculum includes children with special needs, infant and children's mental health, therapeutic play and interprofessional collaboration. Communication with children and families is a focus for your third year. And your fourth year emphasizes professional skills such as leadership and working collaboratively. 


You will take a journey of self-awareness, find your own voice and develop a comprehensive set of abilities to deal with diverse circumstances in an empathetic manner.
