Recently one of our Marketing reps Yolanda, received an e-mail regarding Early Childhood Education (ECE) graduates.

Currently Quarterway Child Care is looking for ECE graduates. They need to hire at least 3 new early child care educators this year! Quarterway Child Care is not the only employer looking to hire ECE students, many other employers are looking to hire ECE graduates as well.

Sprott Shaw is an approved College with the Early Childhood Education registry. Sprott Shaw’s Early Childhood Education program is less than 1 year long! The average starting wage for an Early Chidhood Educator is approximately $15.00 a hour with benefits! Which is great in my opinion, especially for a program which does not take you a full year to complete and there is always room to move up in positions.

We currently have the Early Childhood Education program at our Duncan campus!!

If you are a ECE graduate currently looking for employment in the Nanaimo area (or are willing to relocate) and are interested in the ECE position at Quarterway Child Care (250) 740 – 2599 or by e-mail quarterwaychildcare@shaw.ca

If you are interested in taking our ECE or any other of our great programs call 310 HIRE or http://sprottshaw.com/

Penticton will be holding it’s 2nd Early Childhood Education (ECE) Advisory Board Committee Meeting on Tuesday May 26, 2009 at the Penticton campus. The advisory board committee consists of professionals in the Early Childhood Education community who are interested in providing feedback and suggestions in order to assist in the training of future ECE students. This committee will also include relevant staff from Sprott Shaw Community College.

If you are looking for a career that can make a difference in a child’s life, contribute to the well-being of families and advance the future education in our province? The Early Childhood Educators create a caring and educational enviroment wherein children have the ability to thrive. They often become advocates for education and childcare on a local and even national level. 

The need is always growing for qualified educators in licensed childcare centers, care homes, and special education facilities. Sprott Shaw has  responded by providing a quality ECE program that will supply you with the necessary training to succeed on this field.

Upon completion of this certified and approved ECE Certificate Program, you will need to submit a photocopy of a valid first aid certificate, official transcript, and a letter attesting to the completion of 500 hours work experience to the Early Childhood Educator Registry in order to gain their licenses as an Early Childhood Educator.
