Child Development CORE PLUS (CERT)
The 18-unit CORE PLUS Certificate is designed to meet both the minimum requirements of the Department of Social Services to teach in licensed private preschools and childcare programs and to complete an early childhood education specialty focus. The goal is to provide students coursework to move directly into the workforce while working toward an AA degree. Completion of the CORE PLUS Certificate combined with work experience allows students to be eligible for the Associate Teacher level of the Permit.
