The Childhood Studies department offers a full-time, ten month Educational Assistant Certificate program. Part-time study is also available through evening classes and day classes when space allows.
Graduates are employed primarily in schools or community programs working with special needs children.
To learn more about the program applicants are strongly recommended to call or meet with the department chair.
Attending school can be a great adventure for many children; however for others it can be a difficult experience. You can play a key role in breaking down the barriers of learning for these children by enrolling in Keyano College's 10-month Educational Assistant Certificate Program. This hands-on Program focuses on preparing students for employment with schools or community programs where they will work with children with special needs.
A health review with the College Nurse including up-to-date immunizations, an RCMP security check, and childcare first aid must be completed before students begin their first practicum. Necessary forms for these will be provided to full-time students upon registration.
