The CDA is a big commitment but it is not without a great reward. Once you have obtained your CDA Credential in Preschool, Infant/Toddler, or Family Child Care, you will be highly qualified and valued in the field of early childhood education. The beauty of the CDA is that it is recognized nationally. This means that you will be able to work in any state as a highly qualified early educator.

If you are looking to become a childcare provider and make a lasting difference in the lives of children, you should consider acquiring the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. The CDA program provides comprehensive training covering topics such as child development, health and safety, building positive relationships, guiding children’s behavior, and teaching to each child’s needs.

Many states require educators to complete a CDA in order to be considered qualified to care for children in an early childhood education setting. In these cases, earning the CDA credential is often a mandatory step in order to meet state requirements. The certification proves that you have met the qualifications required for your role and therefore gives you greater job security and better chances of promotion.
