Early Childhood Educator/ Special Needs Certificate
Early in my career, I developed a deep passion for Early Childhood Education. I have continually grown my knowledge and awareness concerning the BC Early Learning Framework and the BC Curriculum. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program at Thompson Rivers University, where I have thoroughly gained a deeper understanding of the BC Curriculum.
