Ce que tu vas apprendre

The Early Childhood Education Techniques program prepares students to become early childhood educators. Early childhood educators are specialized in early childhood. It is their responsibility to ensure the well-being, health, safety and global development of the children in their care. They provide constant supervision and are vigilant throughout the day. They may also be required to provide physical and hygiene care to young children. Early childhood educators need to create and maintain a caring, reassuring and meaningful relationship with every child in the group, and with the children’s families. They inform each family of their child’s progress and of any challenges or needs that may require particular help. In addition, when performing their various tasks and activities, they must take the educational program into account and incorporate the steps of the educational intervention process.? Early childhood educators observe the children continuously and identify their needs, fields of interest and abilities. They plan, organize and apply educational actions designed to help the children achieve their potential. They implement routines, ensure that the atmosphere is conducive to learning and assist the children with their games and everyday activities, to help them acquire healthy lifestyle habits and develop self-esteem, independence and creativity. In everything they do, early childhood educators must demonstrate flexibility, creativity and initiative, by adapting to unexpected situations, being innovative in their approach to education, and progressively developing their practice of the profession. Early childhood educators act as guides and support the children’s physical, motor, cognitive, language, social, moral, emotional and sexual development. They prepare support plans where necessary, and take part in the preparation and application of individualized education plans for children with special needs. They also form partnerships with the child’s family, work closely with their colleagues and resource persons, and demonstrate ethical behaviour when performing their tasks. Early childhood educators work mainly in childcare centres (CPEs), subsidized and non-subsidized daycare centres, home childcare facilities, school daycare centres, drop-in daycare centres and other environments that provide educational childcare services.
