What is the Child Development Permit?
The Child Development Permit is a document which authorizes service in the care, development and instruction of children in a child care and development program. It verifies that you have fulfilled the requirements established by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), for assisting, teaching or supervising in a child development program in the state of California. You must have a permit to be eligible for child care and development teaching or administration positions funded by California Department of Education/Child Development Division. Other programs may choose to require the permit to document educational progress.
To apply for the permit, contact the Ventura County Office of Education:
