Program details
Overview
This program at Medicine Hat College prepares students to work as early childhood educators alongside young children and families, combining child-development theory with hands-on, play-based learning experience. Two credential options are available: a one-year certificate (Level 2 Certified) and a two-year diploma (Level 3 Certified). The program runs on a fall intake, delivered at the Medicine Hat campus. Coursework includes courses such as ELCC 102, ELCC 105, ELCC 120 through 125, ENGL 123, and ELCC 201 through 215. Applicants must provide a current Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search and a current First Aid Certificate. The program suits students seeking a credential in early childhood education, with the option to complete the shorter certificate first or continue directly into the two-year diploma.
