Early Childhood Educators (ECE) guide young learners through their crucial developmental stage from infancy to age five. They create and deliver curriculum that nurtures cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development. Canada currently faces a significant shortage of trained Early Childhood Educators. Our ECE program boasts a 100% employment rate within six months of graduation, with numerous students securing positions directly from their practicum placements. Many begin their professional journey as ECE Assistants while still enrolled in the program. Depending on immigration status, Stenberg's Basic certificate graduates typically earn between $16-$23 per hour, while Post-Basic diploma graduates can anticipate $20-$30 per hour. Career opportunities include: For-profit and non-profit childcare facilities, Cooperative preschools, Independent nursery programs, Kindergarten classrooms, Inclusive early learning centers, Before/after school programs, Group childcare facilities, Home-based daycares, and Various child supervision services.
