Learn to nurture the development of young children through an Africentric lens.
African Nova Scotian early childhood educators (ECEs) play an important role in shaping anti-racist practices in early learning childcare programs by providing education, lived experience, understanding, family support and physical representation of the children and families enrolled in childcare programs across the province.
Representation of African Nova Scotian early childhood educators in early learning programs is significant to the proper growth and development of the African Nova Scotian child. Children need to see diversity in their environment, not just hear about it. With Nova Scotia’s pre-primary program now operating across the province, ECEs who are African Nova Scotian are needed now more than ever.
Early childhood educators plan inclusive programs that help nurture the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of children and their families.
This project-based program was developed to meet the provincial standards for early childhood education training in Nova Scotia and blends classroom study with applied learning. You learn:
In addition to annual tuition, there are program costs (books, tools, etc.) and student fees for college services, health and dental plans, your student association and parking.
