Description

Learning the basics of early care and education is essential in providing high quality learning environments for young children. Research shows that children who attend high quality child care are better prepared for elementary school. Many states, including Georgia, have professional development and education requirements. The Child Development Associate (CDA) is a credential issued by a national organization for those who care for young children ages birth through five. The CDA is also a great starting point for anyone interested in furthering their education in the early childhood and child development fields. This one-hour course will provide an overview of the CDA Credential and help you identify training to meet the course work requirement.
