Course Description
This course is broken down into three components inclusive of a placement preparation course, a field placement
with a licensed community early learning environment or school board, and weekly seminar sessions while

setting. This initial opportunity to practice will allow students to become comfortable and familiar with practices
supported in early learning environments. Field placement ll will carry a focus on supporting the well-being of
children, professionalism, observation skills, responsive relationships, and facilitating learning through play-based
experiences.

Note that experiential learning, seminar information, instruction and discussion will occur online because of
