Certificate In Early Childhood Studies For The Helping Professions in University of Regina

The 15 credit hour certificate offers teachers, educators, and those individuals who are employed in the helping professions the opportunity to advance their professional learning. Learning through a holistic lens, they will develop knowledge and skills which they can then apply to the specific context of their practice.

It is intended for early childhood educators, teachers, and those in the helping professions who wish to enhance their understanding not only of early childhood development and learning, but also of aspects such as play, the arts, expressive art therapies, trauma informed practice, and early literacies.

Early childhood educators, teachers, and other individuals who work in the helping professions often require further professional learning and development as part of their licensing or certification requirements as well as for career mobility. This certificate would meet those requirements in addition providing a bridging/laddering for those who wish to pursue further studies in the university, including teacher education.

It is important to note that extensive research in the field of early childhood development and education generally has found that the most important years of development and learning happen from birth to 8 years of age (Gopnik, 2009; Lewis, 2007; Piaget, 1951; Roopnarine et al, 2013; Vygotsky, 2002). Consequently, it is vitally important that early childhood educators, teachers, and those in the helping professions have easy access to quality professional learning programs that enhance their understanding of, and practice with, young children.

The structure of the certificate program would offer teachers, educators, and others working in the helping professions a holistic approach to professional learning and development in early childhood education. Courses on the topics of approaches to play, trauma informed practice, the arts, expressive art therapies, early literacies, as well as supporting elective courses are all included in the program.
