Program details

Overview

This two-year diploma takes an activity-based, holistic approach built around a child's stages of developmental growth, addressing cognitive skills and socio-emotional development alongside practical training. Graduates are described as going on to find roles alongside kindergarten teachers across Ontario classrooms, as well as in other early learning settings.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: OSSD or equivalent; ENG4C or ENG4U. Proof of English proficiency required if English is not your first language.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 (College Drive – North Bay)

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through OntarioColleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027; Canadore states applicants may apply at any time, with the deposit for accepted Winter 2027 offers due 16 November 2026 and term tuition due 30 November 2026. Canadore's own how-to-apply page separately cites a generic, undated "applications open November 1 / competitive consideration date February 1 for Fall term, October 1 for Winter term" notice that names no specific cycle year, so its October 1 figure is not confirmed as the Winter 2027 deadline. International applicants apply through Canadore's international portal and are assessed on a rolling basis, with programs closing early once capacity is reached; no fixed international opening or closing date is published, and payment deadlines appear only on the individual letter of admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
