Cañada College's Early Childhood Education Certificate Program is aligned with the Child Development Permit regulations. The Permit has been approved by the California Department of Education and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing for child care and development centers operating under Title 5 (publicly subsidized).<br><br>The Child Development Permit emphasizes professional development and will eventually impact the entire Early Childhood Education field. The career lattice approach acknowledges the importance of many entry points into the profession. The Child Development Permit has taken the place of the Emergency Children's Center Instructional Permit, the Children's Center Supervision Permit, and the Life Children's Center Supervision Permit.
