CDCP's Mission was “To provide quality child development training to CalWORKs/TANF participants that lead to a rewarding career as early childhood educators.”

 Highlights...Testimonials from LBCIL's Families & ParticipantsAbout: the Child Development Careers Project: “I am enrolled in a course which allows me to learn about Child Development and the history of early childhood, from disorders to behavior to intelligence. Because of all the wonderful things I have learned, I will be able to be the best child care provider or teacher that I can be.” “The Child Development classes have helped me with my own family. I'm more loving and patient and am trying to set a good example for my child to follow. What he sees and learns at home will determine his outlook on life. One day, I will be the Administrator of a Child Development Program.” Links California Department of Education California Department of Social Services Long Beach City College Compton Community College City of Long Beach City of Signal Hill Children's Home Society of California Long Beach Health Department Long Beach Community Services Directory Long Beach Parks, Recreation, and Marine Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific Long Beach Public Library Los Angels Universal Preschool (LAUP)
