The Child Development Department at SRJC is part of the statewide Child Development Training Consortium. The Consortium provides cost-effective training to eligible personnel employed by child development programs to assist them in meeting the requirements of the Child Development Permit Matrix. This means that our college receives funds to reimburse eligibile students for costs associated with enrollment fees, health services fees, and parking fees. We also provide a book loan program to help students keep text book costs down.

The state program also provides financial assistance in obtaining Child Development permits. To contact the state office about this and other Consortium activities call (209) 575-6428 or use the link to their website.

Who is eligible?

Employees of Child Development programs and Family Child Care providers are eligible to participate in the training offered by our campus. However, priorities are as follows:

1. Employees working in child care programs receiving state or federal funds directly through contract with CDE/CDD.
2. Employees working in child care programs not receiving state or federal funds directly through a contract with CDE/CDD.
3. Family Child Care Provider

In order to participate in the Consortium students must fill out a Participant Profile available from the Child Development Department office. The SRJC Consortium Coordinator is Missy Danneberg. She may be reached at (707) 522-2616.
