Diploma in Early Childhood Education

Assiniboine’s two-year Early Childhood Education diploma program provides graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality early learning and child care to young children. Early childhood educators plan, organize, and implement programs for children between the ages of infancy and 12 years. They lead children in activities to stimulate and develop their intellectual, physical and emotional growth and ensure their security and well-being.
