Child Development

The Child Development department offers coursework applicable to variety of careers in the field of education, training, and public service. Students can complete the minimum of classes as required by the California Department of Social Services, Title 22, for entry level employment in a child care setting as well as classes that lead to various levels of the California Early Childhood permit from the California Commission on Teach Credentialing. Students completing the Associate in Science Early Childhood Education for Transfer degree will be prepared to transfer to several California State Universities where they can complete a related bachelor's degree. For additional information on the early childhood career ladder and both Title 5 and Title 22 requirements, please contact the Child Development department. All students are encouraged to consult with an academic counselor and complete a Student Education Plan (SEP).
