Child Development Permits
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) offers six levels of the Child Development Permit, each with its own set of issuance requirements and each authorizing the holder to perform different levels of service in child development programs. The levels are:
- Assistant
- Associate Teacher
- Teacher
- Master Teacher
- Site Supervisor
- Program Director
A School-Age Emphasis authorization can be added to any level of the Child Development Permit.
The Child Development Training Consortium (CDTC) has two funding sources to pay the application processing fees for first-time, renewing, and upgrading of the six levels of the Child Development Permit. The CDTC will also reimburse first-time permit applicants $56 of the Live Scan fingerprinting processing fee.
