program requirements<br />
Basic laboratory experience is required in many<br />
child development courses within the program.<br />
Specific tasks performed in the lab setting will<br />
vary according to skills, interests, and course<br />
requirements. Prior to initiating lab assignments<br />
and projects, Child Development students must<br />
meet the requirements for staff in child care<br />
facilities as outlined by the Illinois Department<br />
of Children and Family Services Child Care<br />
Facility Regulations: (1) must have a high school<br />
diploma or its equivalent; (2) must be able to pass<br />
a DCFS criminal background check; (3) must<br />
have a completed health form; and (4) must have<br />
a signed mandated reporter form on file. It is the<br />
student’s responsibility to make sure all program<br />
requirements are current and on file with the<br />
program coordinator.<br />
Child Development – Education Option<br />
Associate in Applied Science Degree – CDEV.AAS.C<strong>10</strong><br />
The education option in the Child Development associate degree program is designed to provide individuals<br />
with the theoretical background and practical skills necessary to assume various roles and responsibilities in the<br />
child care profession. The student, depending on individual interests and career objectives, may pursue a wide<br />
variety of options including child care, teaching, program administration, nanny training, family day care home<br />
management, Child Development Associate (CDA) training, infant/toddler care, school-aged care, and assistant<br />
in a child care or public/private school setting. Students must be at least 19 years of age upon completion of the<br />
program to be qualified as a child care worker and 21 years of age to be a child care center director, according to<br />
Department of Children and Family Services regulations. (See other program requirements on this page.) KCC<br />
also offers a Paraprofessional Educator/Teacher's Aide program. See Page <strong>10</strong>5. Students should see the Child<br />
Development program coordinator to determine which program best suits their needs. This degree typically is<br />
not designed for transfer.<br />
