Hello ducky2-ga,

I believe that the correct name for the permit that you are looking
for is a ?Child Development Site Supervisor Permit?.

California Code of Regulations, Title 22, contains the California
Department of Social Services Community Care Facilities Licensing
Manuals.

and at least four years of teaching experience in a licensed child
care center or comparable group child care program.

administration or staff relations.
