Online Pioneer Child Care Graduates Honoured

Saskatchewan – November 12, 2008 – Credenda and Lakeland College will honour graduates of their Early Learning and Child Care Certificate program on November 15, 2008.  The graduates are the pioneers of an online course via the internet with live interactive lessons.  These graduates not only gained certification for themselves but their success rate has lead to other online offerings, the newest being Educational Assistant.  The programs have tremendous potential to build capacity within First Nation communities. 

Principal Vince Hill explains, "Credenda was a natural fit for the needs of these students and their communities.  These students needed to stay in their communities and their communities needed qualified staff for daycare, HeadStart Programs, and other child centered initiatives.  Now Prince Albert Grand Council, Saskatoon Tribal Council, and Meadow Lake Tribal Council have over 60 certified Early Learning and Child Care educators that they didn't have 2 years ago."

Hazel Sewap, from Cumberland House, praises the program, "I did this program online and I can't begin to tell you how much this program has done for me, I learned so much and improved my skills as an Early Childhood Educator. My life is a busy one, I'm married and a mother of two and I was unable to leave my community to further my education."

Another student, Connie Head, from Red Earth, also commends the program, "I love the classes. I get to learn the computer as I go along into the program, and I don't have to move away from my community to get my certificate.  My experience with Credenda has been awesome! This program has provided me with knowledge from the early learning and child care field that I can apply directly into the center I am working in—Red Earth Awasisuk Daycare.  My goal in life was to be a Nursery School Teacher and with this certificate I am one step closer to my Dream."

Early Learning and Child Care Instructor Kasey Fulton is in awe of her students, "There were personal sacrifices and hardships to overcome.  I have listened to students rock their sick babies on their laps while they still took part in class.  I know of students who have lost loved ones, but somehow, someway, found the strength to keep going.  The growth we have seen in each one of the students over the course of the program is immeasurable."

Many of the graduates are now enrolled in the Early Learning and Child Care Diploma program.
