10 Reasons to Choose Quality Early Learning and Child Care

Expert knowledge Early childhood educators are experts in child development and are trained to create inspiring learning environments!
Intentionality Early childhood educators provide your child the gift of time and attention. They will stop and explore the new flowers or jump in the mud puddles with your child.
Young at heart Early childhood educators know how to have fun! They’re not afraid to be silly and laugh with your child; all while nurturing your child’s creativity and helping to build their self-confidence.
Setting limits Every child needs reasonable boundaries, such as no playing ball inside. Early childhood educators set limits and support families in doing the same.
Love of literacy Early childhood educators read and tell stories, sing songs, and do puppet shows to inspire a love of language and to build early literacy skills.

Confidence boost Early childhood educators provide safe opportunities for your child to be independent and to become confident in their personality and decision making skills.
Inspired learning Early childhood educators ask open-ended questions to inspire creative thought and curiosity, to encourage children to explore, and to make learning fun.
Life skills Early childhood educators use their expertise to develop programs that use play as a tool for teaching math, literacy, science and essential life skills that last for life!
Making friends Early childhood educators are educated to appropriately support children to gain social skills, which are so important in making friends and developing positive relationships!
Helping hand Everyone gets stumped by parenting from time to time - juggling schedules, demands, and behaviours. When it gets tough and you need someone to talk to, reach out to your child’s early childhood educator!

Holland College Early Childhood Care and Education

A comprehensive, nationally recognized program with stringent quality standards, Early Childhood Care and Education features program content based on the Occupational Standards for Early Childhood Educators.

It is widely recognized that the training of early childhood educators is one of the most significant indicators of the provision of quality child care. Students in this program have the opportunity to study the historical roots of child care and education and child growth and development, and will explore the connections between these factors. Students also develop an understanding of relationships, and how play and the learning environment contribute significantly to a child's development. Through study and practical application, students experience the thrill of having the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and their families.

For more information about this program, visit the Holland College website.
