Child Development Permit Funds Project
The Child Development Training Consortium will pay the application and fingerprint processing fees (if applicable) for the following Child Development Permit levels including Permits with a School-Age Emphasis:
- Assistant (first-time and renewal)
- Associate Teacher (first-time, upgrade and renewal)
- Teacher (first-time, upgrade and renewal)
- Upgrades from one of the three lower level permits to Master Teacher, Site Supervisor or Program Director

- Initial (first-time) permits starting with the lowest level permit
- Permit renewals starting with the lowest level permit
- Permit upgrades starting with the lowest level eligible permit
The Permit Funds Project is funded by California Department of Education, Child Development Division
