Students will be prepared to teach in pre- school programs, including private schools, children's centers, Head Start programs, parent cooperatives and parochial schools, as well as serving as educational aides in elementary schools. The Child Development Program at West Los Angeles College prepares those individuals that are interested in opening their own Child Care facility. The program also benefits anyone interested in understanding children, their development, and their behavior. All students must make an appointment for advisement in the Child Development Office (GC 180). Applications and a student profile record must be on file. Students will be advised to take a Math and an English assessment test. There are residency requirements at West Los Angeles College for the awarding of Skills Certificates, Certificates of Achievement, and Associate of Arts Degree in Child Development. Any student who has completed Child Development courses at colleges within the Los Angeles Community College District is eligible for a Child Development Skills Certificate, Certificate of Achievement, or an Associate of Arts Degree in Child Development at West Los Angeles College.
