Typically the bachelors degree comes first. After that comes the masters, then PhD. However, there are a number of colleges and universities that offer a combined masters and PhD. Still however you look at this, the PhD will take approximately four years to complete beyond the bachelors degree.

What are the proper education steps to become a child and adolescene psychologist do you get BA MA Ph.D or is it BS MS Ph.D and is there any specific degrees for ex. master in developmental psy?

You can get B.A. or B.S., it depends on the university/college you attend, and on the amount of science/art classes you take. I believe that once you want to get a job the difference isn't very significant. So, if you look into the programs you want to attend you can just choose between getting B.A. M.A. PhD and B.S. M.S. PhD. A Psy.D is for Clinical Psychology, but you mentioned Developmental Psychology so you should go for a PhD. You can get specific degrees, as in a Bachelor of Art/Science in Developmental Psychology, or in Child Psychology, Adolescent Psychology or in Child and Adolescent Psychology. So you get to choose. On the other hand, most institutions offer general psychology so you just get a B.A./B.S. in Psychology. And you can also choose with masters and doctorates. It doesn't really matter which Bachelor you get as long as it is psychology, alternatively your master and doctorate should be about the specific branch you choose. Oh, and yes, there are specific degrees. In all of them, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.

What sort of certifications can you get that will help you attain a job in the psychology field with only a BS in Psychology?

You could get a job with only a BS in psychology. There are plenty of jobs working with troubled youth, group homes, residential programs, and DSS/DCF/child welfare. However, these jobs do not always require a degree at all, and you will not make a lot of money. If you are motivated enough to get a BS, I would recommend getting a LCSW, MA LPC or some other Master's Level degree, which will ensure you job security and a good salary (BS in psych = about 30,000k, Masters= greater than or equal to about 50k, depending on what state you work in). My recommendation is to search specific jobs you want in the field, see what the educational requirements are, and pursue that as your goal.
