Earning the National Child Development Associate Credential (CDA) has many advantages. In addition to continuing your education and building a platform for professional opportunities, benefits of obtaining the CDA include:

  • Skill building  to meet the specific needs of children and  to nurture physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth.
  • Recognition for obtaining a respected, national credential.
  • Opportunities for continuing education and/or career advancement.

The CDA Credential can be the first step in your early childhood career or it can complement an established reputation in child care.

Child care providers can meet their 120 hour CDA training requirement by registering for eight, pre-selected classes that cover at least 10 hours of training in each of the eight required content areas. Participants in the cohort take all nine online classes together, giving them a supportive learning community for the duration of the program (approximately one year).

For $480.00 (approximately half the price of traditional training courses) participants will receive over 120 hours of high-quality training taught by experienced, knowledgeable and certified instructors. CDA cohort programs start at various times throughout the year. Enroll in the full CDA cohort and get the ninth course for free.
