We're excited that you are interested in pursuing (or supporting someone in pursuing) the Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential!
CDA Information Sessions are held via Zoom and are intended for those interested in pursuing their CDA Credential and for members of leadership who have staff that are interested in a CDA. Attending an Information Session is required before applying to the CDA program.
Information Sessions are intended to provide the details of the CDA program offered through ECC. You'll learn about the curriculum, workload, expectations, cost/funding, and advantages of completing your CDA. We'll also share with you how we provide support and encouragement throughout the program.
After completing an Information Session, the CDA program application will be sent directly to candidates for completion.
The deadline to apply for the Fall 2026 CDA Cohort is August 10, 2026.
