George Brown College is launching a new program pathway: The Early Childhood Education Program (Online).

It is a 16 month consecutive program and graduates will be eligible to register with Ontario's College of ECE.

The program alternates between online classes and in-person field placement experiences. We will work with your region to ensure in-person placement is successful.

This program can help support those in rural, northern, and remote areas to complete their ECE credentials.

This is a January 2025 start date program!

There are also two grant opportunities:
* The program is currently offering a $2,000 tuition grant to domestic students who are starting January 2025.
* Students may also be eligible for grant opportunities through the ECE Ontario Grants program.
