Extended Learning Early Childhood and Education
Extended Learning classes do not contribute to a degree. If you’re interested in an associate degree or transfer to a 4-year university, please visit the Reedley College Pathways page.
All Extending Learning classes are tuition-free. There is health fee paid each semester regardless of the number of classes taken. The health fee is $21 fall and spring semester and $18 for summer for classes on Reedley College campus. For students taking classes exclusively online or off campus, the health fee is $13. Other fees might include materials and textbooks; the estimated cost for each class can be found in the table(s) below.
These classes are for individuals who wish to engage in expanding life and workplace skills and/or learning about working with young children in a variety of settings such as day care, pre-school, kindergarten and elementary education. These classes do not contribute to the unit requirement for permits or credentials. Speak with a counselor or program instructor for more information.
