2 Introduction The University of Winnipeg offers early-childhood studies in Stream C of the Developmental Studies Program the only university in Manitoba with a degree-granting program in early childcare and development. These CCEPAC*-approved studies are geared to preparing students for careers in the childcare field, either as a practitioner or an administrator, and to advance the quality and status of early childcare and education locally and provincially. This is achieved with the expertise of the University s interdisciplinary faculty and the collaboration and support of the wider childcare community. As such, the University is at the forefront in building childcare management and leadership capacity. The University has a unique articulation agreement with Red River College, providing students the occasion to study in a joint program and earn both an ECE II Diploma and an undergraduate degree. Students have two options: entering with an ECE II Diploma and completing their Bachelor of Arts in Developmental Studies in two years at the UW or entering the UW as an undergraduate student and completing a BA in four years of which the third year is spent, full time, at RRC to obtain the Diploma. Students coming into the program from Université de Saint-Boniface with their ECE II Diploma are given the same consideration as the RRC students. * Child Care Education Program Approval Committee of the Manitoba Department of Advanced Education and Literacy Career Opportunities The design of this childcare program provides the foundation for preparing students for a variety of career opportunities as early-childhood and education professionals, from certified daycare workers to daycare-centre directors, from educators to child advocates and policy analysts, from trainers to supervisors. Collectively, they play a crucial role in improving early-childhood care programs, in influencing family stability and education, and, thereby, also promoting community wellbeing. All staff members working in childcare centres and nursery schools are classified in one of three levels: as child care assistants, ECE II, or ECE III. Staffing is regulated by the Manitoba Government. For full-time centres with children up to age six, two-thirds of the personnel have to hold an ECE II or ECE III certification; for school-age centres or nursery schools, one-half have to be certified. With their credentials and eligibility to apply for ECE III certification, graduates of the UW program are well positioned. The demand for skilled childcare professionals is a constant in the field, with daycare centres experiencing continuing shortages in qualified personnel. With an increased emphasis on childcare in the province, the available jobs in the field are prone to increase further. In April of 211, the Manitoba Government announced that [a]ll new schools will be required to have a daycare. 1 At the same time, the Province publicized the creation of an Early Childhood Unit for the purpose of researching the best education practices for preschoolers globally. 2 1 Martin, N.

3 Program Structure and Options The Child Development and Childcare Program A 4-year BA program with a Major in DS and an ECE II Diploma from Red River College (RRC) or Université de Saint-Boniface (USB) Students have two options: entering with an ECE II Diploma and completing their Bachelor of Arts in Developmental Studies in two years at the UW or entering the UW as an undergraduate student and completing a BA in four years of which the third year is spent at RRC, full time, to obtain the ECE II Diploma. Students coming into the program from Université de Saint-Boniface with their ECE II Diploma are given the same consideration as the RRC students. Two Options 1. Direct Entry apply to UW and to the DS Program Years 1 & 2 at UW: General Arts and Science and Core year and practicum at RRC in the spring of Year 2 (2 hrs/wk; 2 full days) Year 3 at RRC, full time: 2 nd year of ECE II Diploma program Year 4 at UW: Specialization year (Practice or Administration) 2. Diploma Entry with an ECE II Diploma from RRC or USB Year 1 & 2 at RRC or USB: ECE II Diploma Program (3 credit hours) Years 3 & 4 at UW: Core year and Specialization year (Practice or Administration) Graduates of the Program may also apply to the Manitoba Child Care Program for Early Childhood Education III classification. Advanced Diploma in Leadership in Early Childhood Care and Education Program through the UW Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) For the ADLECCE, students must apply through Professional, Applied and Continuing Education and, at the same time, to UW for admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science. Students must complete the PACE courses before registering for the three Arts and Science degree credit courses and obtain permission from academic advisor, Barbara Read (b.read@uwinnipeg.ca). The ADLECCE studies consist of a combination of courses from the PACE Professional Studies Program Area and Developmental Studies, Stream C, in particular, DEV-31/3 The Child, Family, and Social Policy; DEV-361/3 Topics in Leadership ECCE; and DEV-363/3 Advanced Internship. Students receive waivers for the respective prerequisite courses. (See UW PACE Calendar, visit or Colleen Little at c.little@uwinnipeg.ca). ECE III Classification The classification is obtained through Manitoba Family Services and Labour. 2

4 UW Degree Requirements Graduation requirements for Bachelor of Arts programs at the University of Winnipeg are as follows: Minimum: 9 credit hours Humanities: 12 credit hours Science: 6 credit hours Writing Requirement: 6, depending on Gr. 12 English marks or other entrance credits Compulsory Program Courses: 39 or 42, depending on program option selected Electives: remainder to constitute 9 credit hours Maximum 1-level credit hours: 42 credit hours Students may take a maximum course load of 3 credit hours in the Fall/Winter session. Requirements for a BA in Developmental Studies Stream C Students who are seeking a major in Developmental Studies Stream C must fulfill the usual BA requirements. Students entering the program with an ECE II Diploma receive 3 credit hours (1 year) of transfer credit, and if eligible for at least 24 credit hours of transfer credit, they are also exempt from the Academic Writing requirement. As indicated above, students must complete the course work of the program: a minimum of 39 or 42 credit hours, of which 24 or 27 credit hours are Core courses and 15 credit hours are Specialization courses. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) PLAR is an educational provision that allows individuals with extensive experience in the childcare field to obtain credit for equivalent university-level knowledge and skills gained outside the classroom. PLAR uses valid, rigorous assessment methods to ensure that learning worthy of credit has taken place. For further information, consult the UW Calendar, visit or Barbara Read (b.read@uwinnipeg.ca). Criminal Record Check All employees of childcare centres are required, by law, to complete a criminal record check to help ensure the safety of children, and many hosting centres also require their practicum students to get a CRC. It is strongly recommended that all early-childhood education students obtain an investigation authorization, which includes a Criminal Record Check and a Child Abuse Registry Check. In Winnipeg, the former is obtained at the Bureau of Police Records, Public Safety Building, 151 Princess Street (Tel ), and the latter at the Provincial Child Abuse Registry Unit, * Garry Street (Tel ). *Room 12 for in-person delivery; Room 21 for mail-in submissions 3

5 Required Courses Listed below are the courses fulfilling the requirements of the Developmental Studies Program, Stream C. A.

It is, therefore, imperative, that students take BUS-121/3 and BUS-122/3 as early in their program as possible, even though these are designated as Year 4 courses in the program. Failure to do so will result in a delay in the student s completion of the program and graduation. 4

Failure to do so will result in a delay in the student s completion of the program and graduation. 5

7 Timetabling and Course Selection The Developmental Studies courses (designated DEV) are, generally, taught in the evening to accommodate students who are working in the childcare field. While the course scheduling may change, for a variety of reasons, normally the DEV courses, which are all half courses, are taught only once each year: Fall term: DEV-31: Applied Child Development DEV-31: Child, Family, and Social Policy DEV-33: Speech and Language Disorders DEV-34: Parents, Families, & Professionals Winter term: DEV-24: Observation & Evaluation Techniques DEV-361: Topics in ECE Leadership DEV-363: Advanced Internship One important consideration in selecting courses to fulfill the Humanities and Science requirements, as well as any electives, is the 42 credit-hour limit at the 1-level. Students with an ECE II Diploma entering the Administrative track, especially, must pay close attention to this regulation, as they will have exhausted the 1-level limit by virtue of the 3 credit-hour transfer, the compulsory CRS-12, and the compulsory two 1-level BUS courses. To deal with this issue, it is recommended that students select courses in History, Religious Studies, Philosophy, or Theatre and Film that do not have 1-level prerequisites or in an additional language if they have the credentials to register in a 2-level course. By selecting appropriate courses in Kinesiology, the science requirement can also be fulfilled with 2-level courses. Courses which are suitable for the program include KIN-251(3) Nutrition for Health and Wellness (Le3), KIN-224(3) Introduction to Human Physiology (Le3, La2), and KIN-231(3) Human Anatomy (Le3, La2). B.Ed. with a Developmental Studies Minor Education students in the Early Years, Middle Years, and Early-Middle Years streams may select Developmental Studies as a teachable minor. The required courses are PSYC-22(3) Developmental Psychology I: Fundamentals, DEV-24(3) Observation and Evaluation Techniques, DEV-31(3) Child, Family, and Social Policy, and DEV-33(3) Speech and Language Disorders. The prerequisite PSYC- 1(6) Introductory Psychology is waived for students who select this option. These students do not apply for admission into the Developmental Studies Program. 6

8 The RRC Component for Direct-Entry Students A. The Spring Practicum All direct-entry students must complete a spring practicum at Red River College after completing the Core year in the Developmental Studies Program.
