Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ's Early Learning Centre is a family-friendly facility with observation spaces for family and student use. The centre’s staff are certified Early Childhood Educators who develop and implement infant and pre-school programs for children under the age of five. Healthy, nutritious snacks and lunch are provided and based on the Canadian Food Guide.
Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ Early Learning Centre provides quality childcare service to children and families. We provide equal opportunity for child care service to Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ students, staff and the general public.
The Early Learning Centre is the lab school for the Early Childhood Care and Education program. First and second-year ECCE students participate in activities at the centre through planned lab experiences, course-based observations, and practicum options. The practicum sessions take place in the late fall and in the spring of each year.
The children in the Early Learning Centre fondly call the college students “big students”, and enjoy the variety of experiences they bring to the centre. The children also have opportunities to work with students in other programs within the Health and Community Studies department. These experiences include a teddy bear clinic with the Primary Care Paramedicine students and Taking Care of My Teeth, a clinic with the Dental Assisting students. These connections to other programs at the college continue to evolve and enhance the variety of opportunities children have at in the Early Learning Centre.
