The Philosophies of ECE program at Canadore College is a non-degree course that explores different approaches to early childhood education. It is taught in English and lasts several weeks. This program is for students who want to develop their own philosophy of early childhood education.

The curriculum examines historical and current factors that shape theoretical perspectives on early childhood education. Students compare and contrast different theories, such as Montessori or Reggio Emilia, and learn how to develop their own philosophy of teaching.

Graduates of this program can work as early childhood educators, preschool teachers, or childcare center directors. They can also work as education consultants or curriculum developers, helping schools and organizations create effective early childhood education programs.
