Additional Information
Program Resources
Practice Teaching Field Placements:
Students in the Early Childhood Education program complete three practice teaching field placements during their studies. These placements are assigned by the Field Placement Officer with an emphasis on having students experience different programs and age groups during their course of study.
Field Placement Eligibility:
Please note that due to limited practice teaching field placements in the Ottawa area (including surrounding areas), part-time students are not guaranteed to undertake placements in your preferred term. We are committed to accommodating students where possible. Students may be required to travel up to 90 minutes to reach their practice teaching field placement. While every attempt is made to provide students with a placement close to a preferred area, this is not always possible. Students are not permitted to contact childcare centres in an attempt to arrange placement.
Practice teaching field placements are completed during regular, full-time working hours. Students will need to determine the schedule for placements well in advance to make arrangements to be available for that period of time. Hours vary from centre to centre. Students may be starting as early as 6:45 a.m. and ending as late as 6:15 p.m. Practice teaching field placements must be completed during the indicated series and cannot be saved until the end of your diploma. Students can only obtain Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition credits toward their first practice teaching seminar and placement (FAM1233/FAM1234).
Distance Education Students:
Please note that due to limited practice teaching field placements in the Ottawa area (including surrounding areas), students from outside of the region will not be permitted to complete placements in Ottawa and the surrounding area. Students outside the Ottawa area will be responsible for providing a selection of suitable placement agencies. The Field Placement Officer will confirm the eligibility of these agencies and make the final arrangements for student placements.
Additional Requirements:
Upon acceptance into the program, the following requirements must be met. Failure to complete these requirements will prevent students from participating in the field placement components of the program.
Health Requirements:
Applicants must provide evidence of full and complete immunizations. ParaMed will review the student's record of immunization and provide authorization for entry into field placement. More information in this regard will be available on the website for successful applicants.
First Aid and CPR Certification:
Valid standard First Aid and CPR Certification (St. John Ambulance, Red Cross or equivalent) must be completed prior to the commencement of classes. This certificate must be valid for the duration of the program.
Police Records Check Documentation:
Successful completion of field placement is a requirement for graduation from the Early Childhood Education program. Agencies that provide placement opportunities will require you to have a clear Police Records Check for Service with the Vulnerable Sector (PRCSVS). Your acceptance for placement is at the discretion of the agency. If you register in the program without a clear PRCSVS and as a result are unable to participate in placement, you will not be able to graduate.
It is your responsibility to obtain the PRCSVS from your local Police Department prior to the deadline identified by your Department and to pay any associated costs. It may take 8-12 weeks to obtain this documentation; please submit your application as early as possible. Should you require a letter to obtain your PRCSVS, please complete the online form found on the placement website (www.olfieldplacement@algonquincollege.com).
To be eligible for placement, you must have submitted proof of first aid certification, PRCSVS and health authorization through ParaMed. You will be required to disclose the contents of the PRCSVS, including all notations, to the placement agencies.
Academic Probation:
Students who have two or more F grades in a given term or whose term grade point average falls below 1.7 are considered to be on academic probation (Policy AA14 Grading System). This requires the student to meet with their academic manager to sign a learning contract which identifies the conditions which must be met to continue in the program. Students who do not meet the terms of their learning contract are withdrawn from the program.
