CHDV Scheduling & Planning

Things to consider:
◦ Always take 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
 CHDV 200 will no longer exist after Spring 2013, will be
replaced by CHDV 201, 202, 203, and 204.
 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:
◦ Dr. Lisa Romain lromain@palomar.edu x2195
◦ JoAnne Lesser jlesser@palomar.edu x2654
CHDV Advising- Important!

We strongly recommend that ALL CHDV
students who did not receive individual
advising from the CHDV department last
semester schedule an advising session:
◦ Jenny Fererro jfererro@palomar.edu or another full-time
CHDV faculty member (Diane Studinka, Bob Sasse, Laurel
Anderson)
