Working with children is a rewarding #career path, but it's also one that requires ongoing education and professional #development. In Mississippi, the Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential is a valuable asset for anyone working in childcare settings, and ChildCareEd training programs can help you achieve your CDA goals.
Fulfilling In-Service Training Requirements with ChildCareEd
The Mississippi State Department of Health's Child Care Facilities Licensure Division has granted ChildCareEd Standing Approval Status. This means that childcare professionals in Mississippi, including child care #staff, directors, director designees, caregivers, and caregiver assistants working in day nurseries, day care centers, child care centers, and #preschool programs, can use ChildCareEd courses to fulfill their in-service training requirements.
Meeting Education Requirements with the CDA Credential
The CDA Credential goes beyond in-service training. It's a nationally recognized qualification that demonstrates your knowledge and skills in #early-childhood-education. In Mississippi, the CDA Credential can be used to meet education requirements for several childcare positions:
- Directors: Earning your CDA can help you qualify for director positions in childcare settings.
- Caregivers in Child Care Centers: The CDA Credential is a valuable asset for caregivers who want to advance their #careers in child care centers.
- Caregivers in Child Care Homes: If you work as a caregiver in a child care #home, the CDA can demonstrate your commitment to providing high-quality care to young children.
