Student Testimonials
"The degree program opened up opportunities for me to explore complex ideas and inquiries around education and to examine my everyday practice as early childhood educator in multiple perspectives. It allowed me to experience what it means and what it feels like to be part of the community where I am able to share my thoughts and perspectives with others. The ideas that are discussed and explored throughout the program became the basis of my practice as an educator and a source of inspiration for my research. I am grateful to be part of this learning community and I recommend this program to all educators who wish to continue their journey of learning."
Rachel Yu, Graduate of Capilano University's Bachelor of ECCE Degree program and Current Graduate Student at UBC
