BECE program moved online <\/a>in 2022.<\/p>\nThe BECE program is a part-time or full-time Honours degree that builds on a two-year Early Childhood Education diploma program or equivalent, allowing students to complete their degree in as little as two academic years.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, the program\u2019s students have come from Ontario communities. With the move online and partnerships across Canada, the program is broadening its impact on early childhood educators and the early childhood education (ECE) field across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew agreements from educational institutions at the national and international level contribute to moving the field forward,\u201d says Sandra Della Porta, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Studies and BECE Program Director. \u201cThe online BECE program offers students from across Canada and around the world an opportunity to advance not only their specialization in ECE, but also the field by moving their ideas forward. These highly skilled professionals gain confidence and develop deeper understanding of the processes that influence children\u2019s learning and development. With this, BECE students are well prepared to become leaders in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as streamlining admissions processes for Holland College and Assiniboine Community College graduates, the agreements help to expand the program\u2019s student body and build national and international networks for students to share support and best practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cEarly childhood educators are at the heart of early learning contexts, where they provide rich learning experiences and safe, inclusive places for children to thrive,\u201d says Della Porta. \u201cThese foundational experiences help to shape the trajectory of children\u2019s learning and development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
