Child Development Permit
A Child Development Permit authorizes service in the care, development, and instruction of children in a child care and development program (any state licensed center-based child care and development program). These permits are designed for individuals working in a state funded or federally funded child care and development program with children ages 0-5 and/or ages 5-12 (school age emphasis). There are multiple levels within the structure of these permits that authorize different levels of care and instruction for young children, as well as supervision of child care and development programs.
Education code §8303(a) provides that, "each person employed by a public or private agency in a position requiring a child development permit for the supervision and instruction of children... shall be deemed to be employed in a position requiring certification qualifications."
We offer certificate programs that students can obtain in order to recieve professional growth hours to renew your child development permit.
