Early Childhood Studies
Welcome to the part-time direct-entry Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Studies (ECS) program at Toronto Metropolitan University.
Our program – the first degree-completion ECS program in Canada – combines The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education’s adult-learning expertise with the academic strengths of the School of Early Childhood Studies.
Working with partners across the early care and learning community, we take great pride in meeting the lifelong learning needs of people who devote their professional lives to supporting young children and their families. Our experience, resources, and commitment to learning and teaching excellence empower us to offer a variety of meaningful paths that will give you the knowledge and skills you need to advance in this socially vital field.
The need for well-trained ECE professionals has never been greater. It’s particularly important that early care and learning programs and approaches are attuned to our swiftly diversifying and changing society. Ontario has a variety of programs for young children and families, including full-day kindergarten, multi-service, and family support centres. For professionals who have chosen a career in the field of early care and learning, it is vitally important to have access to the education needed to develop optimal learning environments for all children.
