Early Childcare Assistant

As an Early Childcare Assistant, you will have the opportunity to work closely with children, parents, child educators, and other childcare providers. Assisting and participating in the day-to-day operations of a childcare center, you will contribute to a nurturing environment in which young children can thrive. While working with children, you provide support and supervision as they play, encouraging socialization and enhancing children’s self-esteem during daily activities. Beyond child interaction, you will assist with record keeping, attend staff meetings to discuss progress and opportunities for growth and support and maintain the daycare equipment and environment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The program is 40 weeks, including 490 hours of practicum with on-the-job training, offsite with potential employers. Our Early Childcare Assistant Diploma program is designed to equip childcare workers with the essential knowledge, skills, and experience to provide positive and professional interactions with parents, guardians, team members, and children. It includes two practicum sessions: one with infants and one with toddlers where you will be able to incorporate classroom theory into a real work situation. Not only will you learn various playtime activities for toddlers and infants that will help them develop senses, and the operations of a childcare facility but we integrate various skills into training such as health and safety, child development, ethical standards, guidance and nutrition.
