Course CodeCourse TitleCourse HoursCostDescription
ECE01Child Growth & Development 1
45$569This is one of two modules in an introductory course in child development. Students will study the why and how of child development, examine current developmental theory, learn and practice narrative observation methods, and will examine child development during the period covering pre-natal development through the second year of life.

This course material will support students as they discover how very young children grow and develop. Students will be given opportunities to use their acquired knowledge of child growth and development to assess the development of a single child.
ECE02Child Growth & Development 2
45$569This course will guide the student in the study of child development, concentrating on development during the preschool years. The format of the course revolves around a series of observations conducted by students outside of class time. These observations will be used during class as the basis for developing an understanding of development.

Prerequisite: ECE01-Child Growth & Development 1
ECE03Foundations in Early Childhood Education
45$569This course will concentrate on providing a context to the study of early childhood education. Students will examine the history of childhood, the researchers and theorists who influenced our perspectives on childhood, and the current standing of early childhood education in the world, and in Canada. An examination of the early childhood environment, the role of the early childhood teacher, different programs available for children, and the agencies that regulate and influence the early childhood field will be undertaken. Students will also be introduced to the early childhood educator’s role as a professional and as an advocate for children.
ECE04Health, Safety & Nutrition
45$569This course will introduce the student to best practice in the areas of health, safety, and nutrition, and will examine these areas within the context of early childhood settings that provide care for children (birth to school aged). Students will explore the regulations and practices that protect the health and safety of young children, and will determine methods of exploring the topics with children in developmentally appropriate ways. Students will also be examining methods of working in partnership with parents to protect the health and safety of their children.
ECE05Creative Art
36$389This course examines art and creative development from a developmental perspective. Students will combine what they know about child development, with what they will learn about the nature of children’s art, creativity, artistic elements, sensory stimulation, and aesthetics, and use this knowledge as a backdrop for the teaching and discovery of art with young children.
ECE06Curriculum 1
45$569This course will introduce students to the traditional and current methods of developing curriculum in the preschool environment. The course will explore the relationship that exists among child development theories, play and learning, and will introduce students to a systemic approach to planning and implementing play-based, developmentally appropriate programs for young children. Students will begin to understand the difference between “teacher- directed” program planning, and “child-initiated, teacher-guided” planning, and will learn to create a program that will encourage play, guide it in appropriate directions, support free choices of play activities, foster creativity, and facilitate the acquisition of skills, knowledge and understanding.
ECE07Curriculum 2
45$569This course will continue to explore the development of curriculum by examining current approaches to curriculum development in greater depth. Students will look at programs, like those in Reggio-Emilio, that provide a “child-initiated, teacher-guided” approach to curriculum planning. An in-depth examination of the Reggio-Emilio preschools, and the principals that promote their success in the education of young children, will be undertaken. Students will then apply Reggio principles to the Canadian system in an effort to determine “best-practice” for curriculum planning within a contemporary Canadian setting.

Prerequisite: ECE06-Curriculum 1
ECE08Language & Literature
36$389This course will review and expand on the development of language in early childhood, and will introduce a number of enjoyable language arts experiences appropriate for the young child. Special attention is paid to the emergence of early literacy skills, and strategies for supporting those skills are studied. A comprehensive examination of the four facets of language arts – speaking, listening, reading and writing – and their interrelation with other aspects of development, will provide students with the information necessary to begin to design a language arts curriculum.
ECE09Guiding Behaviour
48$599This course will examine the guidance approach to discipline within a preschool setting. Early childhood educators adhere to a developmentally appropriate approach to interaction with young children. Use of the guidance approach to discipline ensures that teachers consider each individual child’s developmental level before teaching problem solving strategies. Students will learn that a discipline approach that incorporates active learning, problem-solving, and social responsiveness allows the early childhood educator to use guidance to manage, coach and guide children in positive ways.
ECE10Music & Movement
36$389Since music is often a natural accompaniment to activity in the lives of young children, these two areas of study are combined. This course examines the methods of enabling the child to become aware of his own potentials for moving efficiently and effectively in all aspects of living, including motor tasks involved in daily activities for play, work and creative expression. Students will also study effective methods of engaging children in an appreciation of a variety of good quality music.
ECE11Math, Science, and Technology
36$389This course will present an organized, sequential approach to understanding the developmentally appropriate math, science and technology curriculum in the preschool. Students will be introduced to three types of learning: naturalistic, informal, and structured. Discussion and activities will assist the student to determine how children can best explore the interrelatedness of math, science and technology, and integrate their learning into an overall understanding of the world.
ECE12Child, Family and Community
45$569This course will explore early childhood education as part of a systemic approach to a worldview. Students will explore methods of developing positive and respectful relationships with families and other professionals in the early childhood field. Students will also examine the early childhood professional’s responsibilities toward ethical conduct, professional and self-development, and advocacy. The social, cultural and political constructs that influence the field of early childhood will be explored with the goal of increasing the student’s understanding of the system in which the early childhood education field must survive.
ECEPPPracticum Preparation
36$389Practicum Preparation consists of:
• 18 hours of in-college preparation (Three six-hour sessions)
• Two 60-minute focused observations
• Assignments consistent with the attainment of the learning goals
ECEP01Practicum 1126$569This practicum provides students with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the process of relating to and working with young children in a quality early childhood setting. Students will conduct directed observations of children and educators, and will begin to integrate the theories they have learned with the practices they observe. An opportunity to reflect on and discuss their experiences will be offered during two seminar sessions.
ECEP02Practicum 2126$569This practicum will continue to provide the student with an opportunity to relate to and work with young children in a quality early childhood setting.

Students will demonstrate their developing skill in communicating, planning, and implementing ‘best practice’ as they further their observation abilities and continue to learn to contribute to a quality early childhood program.
ECEP03Practicum 3169$569This practicum provides an opportunity for students to integrate, consolidate, and apply the knowledge and skills learned during their program of study in order to demonstrate ‘best practice’ within a licensed early childhood program.
