Centennial College: Early Childhood Education – Indigenous Stream

Centennial College, in partnership with Native Child and Family Services of Toronto and Dnaagdawenmag Binnoojiiyag  Child & Family Services, offered 25 Indigenous applicants an opportunity to become credentialed early childhood educators through a fully funded two-year program.

This program began in January 2023 through part-time learning, and learners are expected to graduate in December 2024 ready to enter the field. Learn more about the Early Childhood Education – Indigenous Stream by visiting the Centennial College website.

This opportunity is funded in partnership with the City of Toronto, The Region of Durham, the Province of Ontario and Government of Canada under the new Canada-Ontario Early Childhood Workforce Agreement, which provides one-time federal funding to support the retention and recruitment of a high-quality child care and early years workforce.
