Letters of reference are to be written and dated within a year of application, preferably, one of which indicates successful recent experience in the care of children under six years, particularly with groups of pre-school aged children. The second letter may be a personal reference. Babysitting experience alone is not adequate. Preferably, experience means 20 hours of volunteer or paid work in a licensed childcare centre with children six years and under.
Once acceptance has been offered, a First Aid Certificate from an approved first aid training program must be submitted to the early childhood education department. Approved first aid training programs are listed in the Schedule C of the Community Care and Assisted Living Act under Child Care Licensing Regulations.
All students in early childhood education programs in British Columbia must complete a Criminal Record Review prior to initial registration. Practicum agencies require evidence of a satisfactory Criminal Record Review. If you have a criminal conviction, you are directed to contact the Criminal Records Review Program with the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General Security Programs Division with regard to specific questions involving criminal convictions and the ability to register.
