CDA Certification
Obtaining a Child Development Associate certification is nearly a requirement now for most who work in early childhood education, but there are some areas where the requirement is still fairly new. However, the benefits of the certification outweigh the extra time it takes to receive it. Educators can be granted the CDA certification based on the kind of facility where work. The CDA certification offers a number of benefits to those who make it through the program, as it is based on a core set of standards that measures competence and is transferable across the nation. The certification program builds confidence in those who will be going on to work directly with children. When the certification was first introduced to California in the 1980s, the general thought was educators already working in the system with the state permit would not value what the CDA certification had to offer, as they had been working for years without it.
