REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS CREDENTIAL INFORMATION ALERT

DATE: January 31, 1997; NUMBER: 97-2

SUBJECT: Implementation of Title 5 Regulations Pertaining to Child Development Permits

The new Title 5 Regulations pertaining to Child Development Permits will become effective on February 1, 1997. These new, permits were developed with the advice of many experts in the field of early childhood education/child development and are intended to provide flexibility in the initial requirements, to provide multiple entry points to the permit, to address staffing needs in child development centers, to create a bridge between regulations governing staff in publicly funded programs and staff in privately funded programs, and to aid in the professionalization of the field.

Effective 2-1-97, the Commission will issue Child Development Permits instead of Children's Center Permits. All initial applications file dated on or after 2-1-97, and all applications with no file date but received by the Commission office on or after 2-1-97,will be evaluated under the new regulations.

All permits issued under prior regulations will remain in effect and will continue to authorize the service listed on the permit. Also, all permits issued prior to 2-1-97 may be renewed according to the regulations under which they were issued.

Effective filing date 3-1-97, the Commission will no longer issue life permits to any holder of a permit authorizing service in a children's center or child development program, even if we said we would on the permit document.

This alert includes a description of the requirements taken from the newly developed information leaflet pertaining to Child Development Permits, a matrix of the Child D6velopment Permits, and a- comparison of prior requirements with the new requirements. The text of the Title 5 Regulations will be mailed later in Coded Correspondence 97-9703.

The Department of Education continues with its authority to issue waivers for employment purposes when child development programs are unable to find individuals with an appropriate permit. For information about waivers please contact the Child Development Division at (916) 322-6233.
