Support their first steps in life
This two-year program gives you all the tools you need to contribute to the development and growth of young children. The training combines theoretical courses with practical internships to prepare you well for the job market.

Offered in conjunction with La Cité College, this program is taught online (live or recorded) with possible access to the Collège Nordique’s classrooms. In French only.

Numerous employment opportunities
Did you know that early childhood educators are some of the most sought-after college-level positions in the NWT? The brand-new Early Childhood Education program meets the requirements of the NWT Department of Education, Culture and Employment. The diploma leads to positions in the school environment, including preschools (daycare, preschool centre) and pre-kindergarten.

A schedule adapted to your reality
Courses have been designed to give you the flexibility to organize your schedule so you can keep your job during regular childcare hours. The training is offered both online (asynchronous courses available at any time) and at a distance (synchronous courses during some weekends with professionals in the field).

Advantageous conditions
 Collège Nordique offers you personalized support throughout your studies, whether it be for registration, computer assistance, pedagogical assistance or even finding internships in the NWT. You will also have access to the College’s classrooms and computer equipment.

Recognition of your achievements
If you already have experience in the field, your skills may be recognized so you could graduate from Childcare Education faster. Contact us now to see if you qualify.

The prior learning assessment process is a joint offering of Collège Nordique and Collège La Cité.

La Cité

The program starts in the fall, winter and spring.

Applicants must have a high school diploma (grade 12) or equivalent or have passed the adult candidate test (19 years and older). Pre-requisites for practical training (steps 2, 3 and 4):

  • Updated immunization record
  • Criminal record check from the local police department or the RCMP or proof of pardon
  • Red Cross General First Aid Certificate or equivalent
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Level C certification.

Both certificates must be valid throughout the study program.

Caution: A criminal record for which a pardon has not been sought or obtained reduces the chances of obtaining a work placement and employment in the field.
