Certificate of Achievement in Nanny, Child, and Family Studies

The Certificate of Achievement in Nanny, Child, and Family Studies prepares the student to provide quality care in the home through fundamental child development coursework plus courses specific to the needs of nannies, children and families. The certificate demonstrates a specific formal education to employers, as well as satisfies the requirements of “12 ECE units” under Title 22 and the Associate Child Development Permit education requirements under Title 5.

Annual Completers: 35

Initial enrollment of the 80 series courses gives us an idea of how many might pursue this certificate in the coming year. In Fall 2021, we had 35 students enrolled in 80A, all of which are currently serving as nannies. These courses and the proposed certificate will only gain in popularity as word gets out about this unique program and offerings. We anticipate we could award ~35 certificates annually.

To our knowledge, we are the first California Community College to offer curriculum specifically for nannies. We know of no other certificates that address this workforce need.
