CHILD DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

WELCOME CHILD DEVELOPMENT STUDENTS!

The Online Child Development program is designed to prepare students for employment as directors, teachers, or aides in preschools and day cares; aides in public schools, and teachers or aides in the Head Start Program. Courses in the program are designed to meet the State of Alabama minimum standards for Day Care Facilities and Preschools along with the national certification, Child Development Associate. All students enrolled in the Child Development program will require a criminal background check prior to designated practicum course work (please see course descriptions for designated courses). The cost of the background check will be the responsibility of the student. Issues pertaining to or resulting in positive findings in the background check will result in the student being denied enrollment.

Beginning on the first day of class, and throughout the semester, currently enrolled students can check out laptops from their campus library.  Laptops are checked out for the entire semester and are required to be returned on the last day of final exams. 

ALL students (new and returning) will need to bring the following required items with them to the Library to check out a laptop: 

  • Current Semester Bill/Statement from Business Office and SIGNED by Business Office – statement must show either a zero ($0) balance or enrollment in the payment plan
  • Current Semester Schedule – maybe printed out in the Library at no cost but it MUST BE A PRINTOUT – Showing screenshots on phones and/or other devices do not fulfill this requirement
  • IDENTIFICATION
    • New students – Current Driver’s License or BSCC ID Card
    • Returning Students – BSCC ID CARD

The College Libraries cannot hold laptops for students
All student laptops are available on a "first-come first-serve" basis ONLY

If you have any questions, please contact your campus library. 

We hope everyone has a great semester!
