Effective, nurturing, and responsive teaching practices and interactions are key for all learning in early childhood settings. They foster trust and emotional security; are communication and language rich; and promote critical thinking and problem-solving. They also support social, emotional, behavioral, and language development; provide supportive feedback for learning; and motivate continued effort. Teaching practices and interactions are responsive to and build on each child's pattern of development and learning. They can be measured by the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS ®) and other adult-child interaction tools. These observations may then be used to support professional development. Teaching practices also include how schedules and routines are carried out, how settings are managed, and how children's challenging behaviors are addressed.

How do I search for classes?

Enter your primary California Community College and then search for the class you would like to take. You can search by keyword, course name, or general education requirement. Once your search results are returned, you can filter by term, live seat counts, start date, teaching college, and transferability.

What is instant enrollment?

Instant enrollment allows current California Community College students to enroll in a class without filling out a separate application. If you see a class section listing with Add Class next to it, you will be prompted to enter your personal information and agree to consent before being instantly enrolled in the class.

Does my priority registration status count at the Teaching College?

Instant enrollment is only available during the participating colleges' open registration period; therefore, all eligible students regardless of priority status have equal access and opportunity to register for courses.

Will my financial aid transfer to the Teaching College?

All participating colleges have signed a Federal Financial Aid Consortium Agreement, so students enrolled in two different colleges may be able to receive federal and state financial aid funds based on combined units taken at both colleges. To check your status, please contact your Home College's Financial Aid Office.

If I drop a class, can I request a refund?

Refunds are subject to the policies and procedures of the college offering the course. For more information, see our refunds page.

Quality Counts

QCC focuses on quality early learning and care experiences because those experiences build the foundation for skills children need in school, work, and life. (Reference: Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child)

Quality early learning and care programs have environments, relationships, interactions, and activities to support all children's growth and development to prepare them for success in school and life.

Research continues to show that children who attend a quality early learning and care program are more likely to do well in school and less likely to drop out or need remedial supports later in their education.
