Campus Programs

The ECE Infant/Toddler and Special Needs program is an extension of our basic Early Childhood Education program. Courses in this program allow you to specialize in two very important areas of childcare and increase your opportunities for career and educational advancement as an ECE graduate.

You must be a certified Early Childhood Educator or in the process of completing the required 500 hours of work experience to enroll in this program. You may choose to specialize in one of two areas: Infant/ Toddler Specialization (working with children under three years old) and Special Needs Specialization (working with children who require extra support). Individual areas of specialization require the completion of seven courses and one practicum. Total specialization requires completion of all nine courses and two practicum placements. These advanced courses will quickly lead you to a License to Practice as a Special Needs Educator or a License to Practice as an Infant/ Toddler Educator.

Additionally, we are fully accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) of British Columbia and the 2007 winner of the 'Consumer's Choice Award', as voted by you. We are also a member of the Canadian Association of Private Language Schools (CAPLS).

Certain programs are recognized by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of BC (CLPNBC), the Ministry of Children and Family Development of BC, TESL Canada and the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT).
