Program details

Overview

Students will be required to obtain a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) in order to be cleared for placement/clinical. Please note, in order to obtain a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS), students must be 18 years of age or older. If a student is not 18 years of age or older at the start of this program, they will experience delays in progression through the program.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, with English at the Grade 12 (C) or (U) level; related volunteer or co-op/work experience and human-development coursework are recommended but not required. This program does not accept international applications, so no language-test scores apply. Admitted students must complete a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening less than six months old, submit a Communicable Disease Surveillance form to Student Health Services, hold current Standard First Aid and CPR Level C certification, recognize the physical demands of caring for children including potential lifting, and arrange their own transportation to off-campus placements.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Niagara College's equal-consideration deadlines apply equally to domestic and international applicants to competitive programs, published for the 2026-2027 cycle: for September 2026 entry the date was 1 February 2026, for January 2027 entry it is 5 June 2026, and for May 2027 entry it is 30 October 2026, each followed roughly three weeks later by a document deadline and an earliest-offer date. All other programs, the majority, are processed first-come, first-served starting each November for both domestic and international applicants, with offers issued until seats fill or the term begins. Niagara does not publish which named programs currently hold competitive status. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
