This practicum is divided into two distinct experiences. The first requires you to spend 30 hours working in volunteer capacities in the community in settings other than child care or early learning and child care education settings, in which young children and families are involved. These settings may include recreation facilities, children's libraries, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, and so on. The intent of this experience is to broaden your awareness of the community services available to young children and families. The second aspect of this practicum continues on from ELCC 105. You are placed in preschool care and education settings and are provided with opportunities to integrate class knowledge in a practical application with young children.
