SECTION/RULE §744.1025 - What credit courses does Licensing recognize as child development?
Chapter Review Date 03/27/2024

Due to a large variation in credit course titles and content, it is impossible to list all courses that may be counted toward the child development requirement. Courses in early childhood education, child growth and development, psychology, sociology, classroom management, child psychology, health and safety of children, elementary education related to pre-kindergarten through grade six, youth development, kinesiology, biomechanics, motor development and performance, physiology of exercise, physical education, and other similar courses may be counted, provided the course content relates to child development or the topics specified in §744.1309 of this title (relating to How many clock hours of annual training must be obtained by caregivers and site directors?). Abnormal psychology and secondary education courses are not recognized as child development.
