Home Early Childhood Education (ECE) Peterborough
Learn how to support, encourage and promote a young child’s growth and development through observation and implementation of creative play based learning experiences.
At Fleming College, Early Childhood Education students have unique opportunities to engage in active classroom learning environments that equip students with the skills and knowledge required to work with children (birth to 12 years).
All courses are based on a philosophy that encourages inclusive practices and partnerships with families. An emphasis is placed on applying what’s learned in the classroom to real–world settings, preparing students to start their careers as early childhood educators.
In semesters two and four you’ll put theoretical education to work in a child care environment. In semester three, ECE teams will implement and run an Interactive Children’s Program, overseen by ECE faculty in the Peterborough community. This will prepare you for semester four, when you will be pulling it all together in your final block field placements.
Design, implement and evaluate inclusive and play-based early learning curriculum and programs that support children’s holistic development and are responsive to individual children and groups of children’s observed abilities, interests and ideas.
Identify, select & apply relevant legislation, regulations, College of Early Childhood Educators Standards of Practice & Code of Ethics, policies & evidence-based practice guidelines, & interpret their impact on a variety of early learning environments.
