Careers in Early Care & Education
Considering a career path in
early care and education?
Today is an especially good time to enter the field of early care and education. As Kern County grows, the need for early care and education programs increases.
Many new early care and education positions are being added to our local work force.

Sorting through the education and certification requirements for these early care and education career options can be confusing. This brochure aims to explain the requirements for each position and where you can find the courses needed to fulfill those requirements.
