This is a very exciting time in the field of early childhood and is an excellent time to upgrade your qualifications. A new report on implementing early learning in Ontario (With our Best Future in Mind) recommends that a specialty degree in early childhood should be the required qualification for Early Learning Program teachers, directors in Best Start Child and Family Centres, and early childhood resource teachers. Graduates of CSU's Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies are also qualified to further their education in specializations such as speech and language pathology or primary-junior education. Those who choose to further their education will be qualified to apply for elementary teacher education programs, such as CSU's Bachelor of Primary Education Studies and are also qualified to enter graduate programs at the Master level.
The Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies is offered under the written consent of the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities for the period from 17th April 2009 to 17th April 2014. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the programs and the degrees will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies or other educational institutions).
