Our School Daycare Educator program equips you with the skills to work with school-aged children in both before and after-school settings. You’ll learn about child development across different age groups and how to plan and lead safe, engaging, and age-appropriate activities in a structured environment. Upon completion, you’ll earn a Quebec Government Skills Training Certificate (STC) — known in French as an Attestation d’études professionnelles (AEP).
*The course is online, evaluations take place in-person at Nova.
