EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION - CERTIFICATE

  

  

 
 
 
 

The Early Childhood Education Certificate offers students initial training to work with young children.  After completion of the 16 unit certificate requirements, the student qualifies for employment as an entry-level teacher in private child care settings licensed through the Department of Social Services.  The Early Childhood Education Certificate course work also meets the training requirements for the Child Development Associate Teacher Permit issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

The courses listed below may also be applied to an Early Childhood Education AS Degree (See college counselor and Recommended Course Sequence for Associate of Science Degree).  Particular attention should be given to suggested course prerequisites and to courses that are offered only during the Fall or Spring terms.  Probable time of course offering is indicated by a F (Fall), S (Spring).  An asterisk (*) means that there is a prerequisite (condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in that course).

All courses to be applied to the Early Childhood Education Certificate must be completed with a "C" grade or better.
