    This is the California Child Development Permit Matrix, that outlines the course work and work experience requirements for the various levels of the permit. Permits are required to work at publicly funded State Preschools, and some private programs also ask for teachers to have a permit. The Chabot Professional Development Coordinator can assist you with planning your classes to earn a permit, making sure you get the correct classes for the permit level you want, and with applying for a permit. There is often funding available to help pay for the application fee and fingerprinting costs involved with getting a permit. We recommend that as soon as you qualify for a permit, apply for it. Better to have it in hand when you apply for jobs than have to get it in a hurry to qualify for a job you want.
