You'll complete two practicums in licensed early learning and child care settings, where you'll apply what you've learned in the classroom while working directly with children. Throughout your placements, you'll build confidence in supporting children's development, planning learning activities, guiding behaviour, and creating safe, engaging environments. Practicum seminars are included to help you reflect on your experiences and connect them to your coursework.

The following documentation must be submitted by the document deadline established by the department.

• Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Check
• Child Intervention Record Check issued by Alberta Children and Family Services  
• Heart & Stroke Health Care Provider Standard First Aid/CPR/AED

Non-Violent Crisis Intervention certifications may be required prior to practicum. Students will be responsible to obtain these certifications.
