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, 204- 3 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 docallaghan@palomar.edu 760-891-7511
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 jfererro@palomar.edu or another full-time CHDV faculty
member (Diane Studinka, Bob Sasse, Laurel Anderson)
