Making the training more accessible supports childcare providers and employers,鈥 said Carly Hall, 91制片厂 Dean of Health and Social Development.

The ECE Infant-Toddler Certificate provides advanced training for individuals to care for children under three years of age. The program covers developmentally responsive environments, working with families and communities, practices in infant and toddler care, as well as work-based practicum.

鈥淭here is a strong need for Early Childhood Educators in the Okanagan, and that鈥檚 why we are working with 91制片厂 to expand access to ECE programs,鈥 said Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training. 鈥淢ore students will be able to study for a career in this in-demand field and help build an economy that works for more families and leads to a stronger B.C. for everyone.鈥
