Six Nations Polytechnic has announced that it will launch a two-year Early Childhood Education diploma program in Fort Erie this Fall. The program follows Niagara College’s ECE curriculum and contains additional Haudenosaunee and Indigenous ways of Knowing, Teaching, and Learning. Students will have access to supports from both Niagara College and SNP as a part of the program. Students will supplement their in-class learning with placements in the region in environments including EarlyON centres and kindergarten and preschool classrooms. SNP Senior Associate Dean of Community Services and SNP Field Placement Specialist Carrie Washburn said that the high demand and accessibility of the Fort Erie program will lead to strong outcomes for students.
