Child Development Permits

There are different levels of Child Development permits which authorize the holder to serve in Early Education Schools (includes infants, toddlers, Pre-K, and out-of-school time). At minimum, to teach in an Early Education School at SFUSD, you must hold a Child Development Teacher Permit or higher. Depending on the position, you may also have to complete a certain number of Child Development units and/or obtain a Multiple Subjects credential and/or a Bilingual Authorization.
