CDA© Training
CDA Certification for Early Childhood Professionals
The CDA certification can be a great way for preschool teachers and child care professionals to grow their skills, learn more about early childhood development, and gain experience in their field.
“I really need my staff to complete the CDA credential because it’s a requirement for our programs. They’ve tried to take these courses online for free and it hasn’t worked. They start the programs but they don’t complete them. What I really need is live facilitator program that gives my staff a real learning experience.”
Patricia Campos
“My staff need someone who guides them and support them through the process. From getting the classes they need to develop the required portfolio and prepare them for the in-person evaluation that will take place.”
