Congratulations to Child Care Assistant Training Program graduates from the Durham Catholic District School Board Archbishop Anthony Meagher Catholic Continuing Education Centre! An extra congrats to those who also completed their high school diploma through this program.
Class valedictorian Saleema shared, “Today is not just about finishing a program. Today, we are proud—proud of what we studied, and proud of who we are becoming.” She reminded her classmates that Early Childhood Assistants create safe, caring environments and they are, “the reason a child smiles when they walk into daycare.”
After 18 weeks of full-time study, including nine weeks of hands-on placement in childcare centres, the graduates are now ready to begin meaningful careers supporting and educating young children.
