Prince Edward Island Childcare Training Requirements:
In Prince Edward Island, the supervisor and one staff member in centers for children 0-5 need a one-year ECE certificate. Childcare staff are certified according to the requirements of the license by facility type. An early childhood center requires a Type I license; a family child care home or school-age child care center requires a Type II license. A minimum of 45 hours of professional development is required in the three-year certificate period in order to recertify.
In Type I centers, the center supervisor and one full-time staff member require at least a one-year early childhood development diploma or equivalent. Depending on education and experience, an individual may be certified as an early childhood program staff or an early childhood supervisor. The center supervisor is required to hold an EC supervisor certificate.
In Type II centers, the supervisor and one staff person require successful completion of one unit of continuing education (defined as a one-semester relevant university/college course) and provide two supporting letters of reference.
