CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE CREDENTIAL

The Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential is a national credential awarded by the Council for Professional Recognition. It is a key stepping stone for many early-care professionals on the path of career advancement in early-care and education.

The CDA Credential is based on a core set of competency standards, which guide early-care professionals as they work toward becoming qualified teachers of young children.
