It depends. Eligibility for a Master's in Early Childhood Education in Canada without prior related work or study experience varies by university.

- Some programs require at least 1-2 years of professional experience in early childhood settings (such as preschools or childcare centers).
- Others may accept applicants with strong academic backgrounds in other fields, especially if you have a relevant undergraduate or postgraduate degree.

With your academic record (Master’s and Bachelor’s in Language and Literature, strong grades) and work experience, you may be considered by some programs, but requirements differ.
