Building on the foundation of a two year Early Childhood Education Diploma program or equivalent, graduates of the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (honours) program will have a comprehensive understanding of the issues and trends in early care and education for children from birth to 8 years old and be well prepared for further studies or work in the field of care and education for young children. This program on its own will not provide graduates with an Ontario Teacher Certificate. Rather, graduates of the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Honours) program are expected to take on positions that require a strong foundation in early care and education or apply to graduate studies or to teacher education programs that lead to an Ontario Teaching Certificate. Admission Requirements: Graduates of a two-year Early Childhood Education Diploma program or equivalent, containing a foundation in: child development, developmentally appropriate practice, curriculum planning, practical experiences with children birth to 8 (a minimum of 500 hours of field placement or equivalent), reflective practice, abnormal/exceptional development, psychology, play-based learning, observation and assessment, code of ethics and standards of practice, with a cumulative 75 percent average are eligible to apply for entry into the limited enrolment Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Honours) degree program and will be granted up to seven transfer credits if admitted to the program. Students deciding to transfer to another program will have their transfer credits reassessed by the Office of the Registrar to align with their major program requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the Office of the Registrar prior to any program changes. Upon acceptance into the program and during each subsequent year, applicants are encouraged to have a satisfactory police record check with a vulnerable sector screening. This background screening is required by school boards and community partner organizations prior to having direct contact with students or young children. International students are expected to have equivalent documentation from their home country or an international police clearance certificate upon admission. Applicants who have successfully completed an Early Child Education diploma or equivalent as part of a degree-completion pathway, will be considered with a minimum of 7.0 university level courses at the time of application for the Primary/Junior BEd Division. In these cases, the overall diploma average will be calculated and used in place of the missing credits toward the weighted average calculation. |
