What are Child Development Permits?
Child Development Permits are credentials awarded by the State of California. Employers
may require their employees to have permits, or may find employees with permits highly
desirable.
Permits are available at various levels. Each level has one or more ways to qualify.
Individuals must meet all of the requirements listed in one of the available options.
Individuals should review all available options and complete the one that best reflects
their own education and/or experience.
