Program details
Overview
Techniques d'education a l'enfance (code 322.A1) is a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda campus, training early childhood educators. The program includes employment-based internships and has no specific secondary-school subject prerequisite. Students learn to design age-appropriate educational activities, support and stimulate children's development during their earliest years, observe children in order to propose actions adapted to their individual needs, and work collaboratively with parents as partners in a child's development. Typical workplaces include childcare centres (CPE), schools, and home-based childcare settings, including a graduate's own home-based service. Graduates work as early childhood educators. The program suits students who enjoy watching children grow and learn, want to contribute to raising engaged future citizens, bring imagination to planning and organizing activities, and communicate easily and warmly with both children and their parents, positioning themselves as a significant, steady presence in a child's early life.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Techniques d'éducation à l'enfance (322.A1), ouvert aux personnes candidates internationales. La page du programme n'exige aucun cours préalable spécifique du secondaire ; l'admission repose par ailleurs sur la base générale du Cégep : le diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) — la personne titulaire d'un DES qui n'a pas réussi la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire, les mathématiques de 4e secondaire, la science et technologie de 4e secondaire ou l'histoire de 4e secondaire peut se voir imposer des cours de mise à niveau — ou le diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) complété par la langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, la langue seconde de 5e secondaire et les mathématiques de 4e secondaire. La page ne mentionne aucune exigence de langue additionnelle, de portfolio, d'entrevue ni de vérification des antécédents judiciaires pour ce programme ; ces vérifications, courantes dans ce domaine, ne sont pas précisées sur la page consultée. L'admission se fait exclusivement en ligne auprès du SRAM.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
