 Narmin
Pirani
(Graduated
in 2004)
Early Childhood Education
Narmin Pirani was finishing her bachelor’s degree in
sociology when she took a job in a hospital child care centre
to help pay her bills. That’s
where she found her true calling.
"I discovered that I loved
working with little kids. It came naturally to me, and I
knew it was the kind of job that I’d look forward to
every day," she remembers.
Narmin knew she'd need
training if she wanted to get serious. When she looked at
the options, George Brown College's Early Childhood
Education program interested her right away, particularly
the seven weeks of in-class followed by the seven weeks of
co-op.
"The courses at George Brown sounded more academic
compared to the other ECE programs I was considering, but
the main
thing that appealed (to me) was the amount of field placement," says
Narmin. "We learned how to handle every possible situation in
the classroom, but then when you have to use that information
for real, you discover all the things that can't be
taught in a book. There’s no better way to learn." |
