Diploma in Early Childhood Education

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an OSSD/OSSGD or equivalent with courses at the general, advanced, (C), (U) or (M) level, including Grade 12 English at the (C) level or equivalent, or mature-student status. The page sets no language-test scores itself, so Loyalist's institution-wide diploma requirement applies to international applicants: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0, alongside TOEFL 550 paper-based or 80 iBT (no section below 20), CAEL 60 overall/60 writing, Duolingo 105+ (no band below 90), Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency, or Oxford ELLT 6. Before placement, students need up-to-date immunization and a two-step TB test, Standard First Aid with Level C CPR, and a clear Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Check; unpardoned Criminal Code convictions may make a student ineligible for field placement.
