Bachelor of Applied Science in Frühkindlichen Studien mit Auszeichnung

Our program focuses on the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children and their interaction with the world around them. You will learn to assess children’s learning; support and educate children in a meaningful way; understand how to create interventions, and know-how to work with children in a variety of settings.

Your first year introduces you to the domains of child development and theories and foundations of early childhood. In your second year, you learn the basics of human anatomy and physiology; how to create curriculum; observation and research skills; dynamics of relationships; and how biases impact our interactions with children and families.

See first-hand how learning environments can support diversity and inclusion for children with a range of abilities when you use our interactive classroom. It facilitates and enriches learning with Smart Boards, whiteboard walls, specialized seating (pods) and desks, wiggle chairs and integrated technology.

The University of Guelph-Humber was the first in Ontario to offer an opportunity to earn both a university honours degree and a diploma in four years of full-time study in one location when UofGH opened its doors in 2002.

Years later, what continues to make UofGH unique is the integration of theory and workplace experience in all of our programs.
