Hey there-

I completed my degree in Early Childhood Education and Family Studies the year I opened my daycare.

I do not think that you can be the supervisor for your own practicum. With my Schooling I had to take my practicum in daycares in close enough proximity to my University. Also up until 4th year my practicum location was assigned to me.

Practicum is usually 2 days a week for about 12 weeks each year - this is for a 4 year University course.

With Colleges it is often 3-4 days a week because it is only a 2-3 year diploma.

Good Luck!
