CDA Home Visitor Training Options from ChildCareEd - post

ChildCareEd offers comprehensive training options for individuals pursuing their Child Development Associate (CDA) Home Visitor Credential, covering the education of children from birth to age five. To meet the 120-hour professional training requirement, ChildCareEd provides flexibility by offering both a complete training package and segmented subject-area courses in 5-hour increments.

For those seeking to complete the entire CDA Home Visitor credential in one training course, ChildCareEd''s CDA Home Visitor Credential Birth to 5 provides all 120 required hours. This is ideal for learners starting from scratch who need to fulfill the full range of training.

Alternatively, learners who have already begun their CDA Home Visitor training and only need hours in specific areas can select from individual subject area courses. These subject-area courses are aligned with the CDA Council''s eight core areas of competency for #home visitors. This approach allows candidates to pick the exact areas they need to complete without repeating content they have already covered.

The 8 CDA Subject Areas are as follows:

• Health and Safety: Training focuses on promoting #safety, first aid, #health, and nutrition within home environments.
• Physical and Intellectual Development: Learners explore methods to enhance #parents’ skills in advancing children’s #development through activities like creative arts, literacy, and muscle development.
• Social and Emotional Development: This area covers positive approaches to supporting children''s emotional well-being, including self-regulation and responding to distress.
• Family Systems: Participants study family dynamics, support for diverse families, and working with families facing crises or special needs.
• Program Management: This focuses on managing home visitation programs, including planning, documentation, and record-keeping.
• Professionalism: Training includes topics like advocacy, ethics, and professional standards for working with children and families.
• Child Welfare Continuum: Cultural competence and child welfare, including #foster-care and adoption, are the focus here.
• Child Development and Learning: Understanding typical child development and individual variation from birth to age 5.

Learners can choose from a series of 5-hour courses broken into multiple parts, which correspond to these subject areas:

• CDA Home Visitor Subject Area 1 Part 1 Birth to 5
• CDA Home Visitor Subject Area 1 Part 2 Birth to 5
