Kern County Infant Toddler Seminar - Registration now open

Attention Bakersfield College ECE Students!

The Spring 2012 semester will be the last opportunity to enroll in CHDV B41L. After that semester, students will be required to take the newly revised CHDV B41 Supervised Field Experience course that meets the Child Development SB 1440 alignment with the State of California. The new B41 class is a 4-semester unit class that combines the former CHDV B41 and B41L courses into one class. Persons wanting more information about enrollment into CHDV B41L may contact Jo'L Jackson at Bakersfield College 661/395-4754 or jojackso@bakersfieldcollege.edu
