What does C.D.A stand for?

Question

I was told by my director and my boss at work (daycare center) that I should go back to school and get my CDA. I am trying to look for an online college to look into it, cause I think there is a possibility that I would do well at this...but I have to remember what CDA stands for!! Can anyone help?! Thanks

Answer 1

A CDA is a certificate of completion, it;s not a degree.  You only need to take about 5 classes to get it.

Answer 2

A Child Development Associate degree

Answer 3

easy. not rocket science. you have parent surveys, collect a bunch of info, you write essays about 200 words based on that subject area. I'll tell you, the one lady in my study group wrote this for 'keeping safe and healthy': I make sure every child uses a clean tissue to blow their nose. Yep, she got a CDA. I wrote more complex actions I take in class, and that got me my CDA. The test, easy. Your work hours, plus any trainings you take count. three college classes will cover the number of taining areas, take child development, a child's lit class, and maybe a music and movement class for preschoolers. these are usually the easiest, and cover most areas of learning. Also, you will need a first aid CPR class. You will have to hook up with a CDA advisor in your area to go over your action plan. check out the website below, the sharing boards offer alot of assistance to those needing a CDA.

Answer 4

CDA stands for Child Development Certificate, in order to get this there are a couple of ways you can go about this.  One is Wisconsin Stout, this one is by correspondance, there is also early childhood news amgizine that has things you can read and mail in your answers, as for online coureses, I'm not aware of any, however, go to yahoo and type in child development certificate.  Also, you may want to consider checking with your community college, although you would have to go to class it could be very helpful to you, because you may do able to do a lot of handson activites and you may get a lot more information that will be helpful to you.
