Our People

Our instructors are experienced child care workers. They have worked, and many continue to work, in the front lines of child and youth care or in supervisory roles. As a student in the Bachelor of Child and Youth Care program, you learn from experts and practitioners with first-hand experience.

Embracing diversity

"I'm speaking to as many different people as possible about their hopes for MacEwan," says Kristopher Wells, associate professor in the Bachelor of Child and Youth Care program. One of the most respected advocates for LGBTQ+ rights in Alberta, he is committed to making MacEwan an inclusive community.
