CHDV Scheduling & Planning Things to consider: – Always take CHDV 99, 100 and 115 first! – Other courses do not necessarily need to be taken in numerical order (with the exception of courses with prerequisites) – Employment- many students work in ECE while completing their programs. If you want to work, you’ll need a basic 12 units as your first classes CHDV 100, CHDV 115 are required for entry-level employment in any licensed center Some employers require the state Child Development Permit, others just require “12 units”

CHDV Scheduling & Planning Things to consider (cont.) – CHDV 105 and CHDV 201, 202, 203, 204 require labs 105A, 105B, 105C- 3 hours per week of lab placement 201, 202, 203, hours per week of lab placement for each course 105 is a fall/spring only 201 is a fall only, 202/203/204 are spring only Placements are determined by the department Labs must be done for appropriate population for your certificate/degree choice – CHDV 105 lecture does not need to be repeated for multiple certificates, only the lab hours.

CHDV Scheduling & Planning Things to consider (cont). – General Education Some students want to focus only on their child development units It is a good idea to consider working on your GE units in conjunction with your CHDV units- this is important for 2 reasons: – Earning your state Child Development Permit (teacher level and higher) requires GE units – AS and transfer require GE Take English classes required for GE sooner rather than later! Keep your options open! GE advising can be completed with the GE counselors: – Dana O’Callaghan

CHDV Advising- Important! We strongly recommend that ALL CHDV students who have not received individual advising from the CHDV department in the past year schedule an advising session: – Jenny Fererro or another full-time CHDV faculty member (Diane Studinka, Bob Sasse, Laurel
