Questions about the new Birth to Five CDA Credential setting?
The CDA Council for Professional Recognition has published a blog with the requirements for the new CDA credential setting. The requirements are very similar to the other center-based CDA settings, but there are a few changes to the work experience and Verification Visit requirements. There is also a new Competency Standards book. Read the CDA Council's Birth to Five credential blog to learn more.
