Why would early educators need a child development permit if her employer does not require it? |
| |
Santa Clara CARES requires all participants to obtain a child development permit so that there is uniformity across the early childhood profession. Since private programs only require 12 units to be a teacher, and public programs require 24 units plus 16 GE, the permit levels provide a uniformity that is not otherwise apparent.
