All students also have the opportunity to observe best practices in an on-campus childcare centre and lab school run by early childhood educators.
A related diploma in DSW or SSW. Students interested in pursuing this option should meet with the ECE program coordinator to ensure appropriate practicum selection while in the DSW and SSW programs.
