The Child Development A.A. Learning Community Cohort Program is a program designed to assist students working with children ages 0-5 years in AlamedaCounty in obtaining an Associate of Arts Degree in Child Development.

As part of this cohort, students receive academic, counseling and student support services. The cohort students have a designated counselor who develops Student Educational Plans and a Professional Development Coordinator for Child Development Permit Advising.

Students in the cohort must work with children ages 0-5 years in Alameda County for a minimum of 15 hours per week at a family or child care center. They must also be committed to completing 6 units or more of coursework per academic year and participating in CARES Plus (an online learning video course). Upon successful completion of the program, the students are awarded a stipend from First Five of Alameda County.
