Due to a large variation in credit course titles and content, it is impossible to list all courses that may be counted toward the child development requirement. Courses in early childhood education, child growth and development, psychology, sociology, classroom management, child psychology, health and safety of children, elementary education related to pre-kindergarten through third grade, youth development and other similar courses may be counted if they are related to child development or the topics specified in §747.1305 of this title (relating to What topics must the annual training for caregivers include?). Abnormal psychology and secondary education courses are not recognized as child development.
