Unlocking Your CDA Certification: Maryland's Exclusive 30-Hour Bridge Course Offer

Have you completed your 90-hour Certification but are interested in going further? First and foremost, congratulations are in order! You've completed your Maryland 90-hour training, a significant achievement in #early-childhood education. But here's the exciting news – for a very limited time, you can take your credentials a step further by adding a 30-hour bridge course to your training for FREE! This unique opportunity will not only help you earn your Child Development Associate (CDA) certification but also provide a host of incredible benefits, including covering your application fee, training costs, and a textbook bundle. The course even includes the CDA Professional Portfolio Review component, preparing you for a seamless site visit when you apply for your CDA. But that's not all; exciting incentives are in store for you. Suppose you choose ChildCareEd as your training provider for the online courses and complete your training within the agreed timeframe. In that case, you'll automatically be entered into a monthly draw for a spa gift card, and there's a grand prize drawing in December offering the chance to win up to $1000 in classroom materials and supplies!

Eligibility and Simple Application Process

To be eligible for this incredible opportunity, you need to be working in a licensed child care facility or home #daycare in Maryland. If you meet this criterion, the application process is surprisingly straightforward. Here's what you need to gather:

1. Your CDA Council ID Number
2. Your Center or Home Daycare License Number

Once you have these essential pieces of information, it's time to move forward with your application. Begin by submitting a formal application through the Maryland CDA grant application portal, ensuring that you select "Approved Training Bundle" as the voucher you're applying for.

For those who don't yet have an account with the CDA Council, worry not. You can easily create one by visiting their website at https://yourcouncil.org/. Once this initial step is complete, you'll receive an email containing your CDA Council ID Number, which you'll need for your application.

What Happens After You Apply?

After you've successfully submitted your application, allow approximately 10 days for a response from the CDA Council. They will send you an email with the subject line "CDA Completion Agreement and Training Bundle Selection Form," and this email will contain an attachment. Open this attachment, as it's where you'll electronically sign the form and select your preferred training provider. ChildCareEd is conveniently listed as the fourth option on the drop-down menu.

Following this, there will be another brief waiting period as the CDA Council verifies your application. Once they provide their approval, your chosen training provider (ChildCareEd, in this case) will be notified, and they will grant you access to the online course.
