These Certificate Programs are offered via distance education with a required on site seminar/practicum component which will be arranged in the student’s community if a qualified instructor is available.
Programs are designed for individuals who wish to pursue a career as an
early childhood educator in a day care centre, preschool or family
day care home. Individual courses are also available to parents, high
school students, and those that need to qualify as an assistant in
a child care facility.
Our Mission Statement
Pacific Rim Early Childhood Institute is committed to the belief that children should have an opportunity to participate in quality early childhood programs with trained staff. To meet this objective, training programs have been developed to prepare students to work with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and children with special needs. These programs are offered through distance education and provide students with the flexibility to take courses while still working, or raising children at home.
