Introduction
The goal of the two (2) year Early Childhood Education certificate program is to train students on how to provide educational services to a group of children, from 0 – 12 years old, in an early childhood care setting.
The main function of an early childhood educator (ECE) is to create an environment that promotes the physical, motor, cognitive, language, socio-affective and moral development of a child by establishing in them a caring relationship. In addition, the educator’s role is to develop, organize, lead and evaluate educational activities that promote overall childhood development.
The ECE must not only ensure the health, security, and well-being of the children under their care but also, their own health. Students in this program learn to self-regulate by organizing a daycare environment that is secure and not overwhelming as well as through various stress-management techniques. In this respect, learning to balance and renew one’s energies through a healthy lifestyle represents an essential competency that an ECE must master in order to assume their numerous responsibilities and tasks.
