ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All applicants must apply to the University of Windsor through OUAC and meet their admission requirements. For admission requirements refer to the University of Windsor Admissions Handbook. Requirements are dependent on the degree program you select.

PROGRAM GOALS
This innovative five year program combines a Bachelor of Arts (or Sciences), Bachelor of Education and an Early Childhood Education diploma with learning taking place at both the University of Windsor and St. Clair College. Students must complete all three programs to graduate. Graduates become certified to teach at a primary school, junior school (up to Grade 6) or preschool in Ontario. This program will appeal to students who want a career working with children and helping them to learn and grow.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
  • Multiple degrees and diploma provide a deep understanding of early childhood education. Students also become very knowledgeable on early childhood development.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Opportunities greatly increase since graduates can become certified primary school, junior school or Early Childhood Educators in Ontario.

FIELD PLACEMENTS
Employers who provide our field placement settings require a clear POLICE RECORD CHECK for criminal offences with vulnerable sector screening before accepting a student into the field placement setting. The record check MUST be obtained by the student at the student's expense. If you are unable to obtain this police clearance by mid September, you jeopardize the opportunity to complete either of your field placements.

In the event of a shortage of placements or internship sites, you may be required to perform your placement or internship duties on off hours, which may include evenings and weekends.

NOTE:  Standard First Aid and CPR C Certification must be obtained PRIOR to Field Placements.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Accepted applicants must supply proof of a satisfactory medical examination and immunization prior to program entry.

Please be advised that lack of documented immunizations may result in the restriction of clinical placement and therefore may delay and/or prevent completion of the prescribed program.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
YOUR INVESTMENT
Students will pay full tuition fees to the University of Windsor. Separate tuition fees will be paid to St. Clair College for the College delivered semesters and field placements.

Books and expendable supplies required at both schools may run approximately $700 - $1,000 per year.
