Busy childcare leaders like you don't have time to sort through PDFs to understand Title 5.
Title 5 is difficult to read and comprehend, as with all California Code of Regulations. It is highly referenced and commented documentation, which breaks up the language into parcels and adds space and reference numbers that make it challenging to navigate.
We've build this to solve these issues. This tool is a sorted, formatted, and searchable copy of the Title 5 language. It references but does not include Subchapters and Health and Safety Code.
Search by hitting the search bar in the top right. (or use the shortcut Ctrl + K)
There are many ways to search:
By default, search looks for the keywords from your query. For example, searching preschool director will return all the books that contain the word "preschool" and "director"
You can also ask the search bar questions for more specific results. For instance, you might ask, "What are the qualifications for a preschool director?" or "Which books focus on leadership in early childhood education?" This way, the search bar can provide answers tailored to your specific inquiries.
You can also narrow your search results by excluding words with the NOT syntax. Searching for Hello returns a massive number of "Hello World" projects, but changing your search to include hello NOT world returns fewer results.
You can use > or >= to indicate "greater than" and "greater than or equal to," respectively. For example, the following search queries are equivalent: cats stars:">10" and cats stars:">= 11" You can use < and <= to indicate "less than" and "less than or equal to," respectively.
