Founded in 1967, the college offers a wide range of programs across various disciplines, including business, health sciences, skilled trades, technology, and media arts. Known for its emphasis on experiential learning, Durham College provides students with hands-on training and real-world experience through industry placements, internships, and co-operative education opportunities.

With its commitment to innovation and practical education, Durham College continues to be a trusted institution for students seeking a high-quality, career-focused education.
Quality early childhood education (ECE) is critical in preparing children for future learning. As an early childhood educator, you will have an integral role in promoting children’s development from birth to age 12 within the following five domains: cognitive, social, emotional, language and physical. In the ECE program, you will engage in theoretical studies along with practical applications. Moreover, professional practice and ethics will guide you in working with families, understanding pedagogy and fostering belonging and well-being in children. Upon completion of your program, you will apply to the College of Early Childhood Educators, the provincial regulatory body, to become a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) in Ontario.
The ECE-E stream is designed for those currently working in a child care program and early years environment but who have not yet attained their RECE status. You must have a minimum of six months work experience in a child care program (past or present) to be eligible. Courses will be scheduled between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in order to accommodate students working in before- and after-school care settings.
