The College is a non-profit educational environment overseen by a Board of Directors. At the Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education we are proud to lay the foundation for the personal and professional development of our students.

History

In 1970, St. Joseph’s Children’s Centre established the first Atlantic Canadian Program in Early Childhood Education. The program evolved from a three-month course to a ten-month Diploma program. In May 1997, St. Joseph’s College of Early Childhood Education became a separate entity from St. Joseph’s Children’s Centre.

In 2000, in order to ensure that the Diploma was recognized across provincial borders, the program was extended to a two-year course. The Diploma is licensed by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and approved by the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services.

In 2008, St Joseph’s College of Early Childhood Education changed its name to Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education (NSCECE).
