Jasper College Child Care Program

Jasper College started the child care program, which is designed for students who want to gain experience in working at a child care centre in Canada. It is a great experience for people who have worked in child care centres or kindergartens in their home countries, or for people who are willing to do so in the future. First, students take the English Program for 8 weeks minimum, and then they take 8 weeks of child care program. After the child care program, they can take the internship course at child care centre/kindergarten/after school care. After they finish this course, Jasper College provides them with a certificate. If students want to have a provincial certificate from Alberta, we will help you take the level 1 course (8 weeks long) during your stay.
