The Early Childhood Education program by Distance Education enables students to become skilled with the tools required to support and work with young children. Exciting new brain research shows that warm and responsive care during the first five years affects learning, behaviour and development throughout life. As an early childhood educator, your warmth, understanding and patience will be essential as you work with young children from a cross-section of culturally diverse families. The skills you learn in this program will prepare you to succeed in the numerous jobs currently available.
