To earn the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, what is a necessary requirement?

  1. Have a college degree

  2. Complete a resume and portfolio

  3. Be a high school student enrolled in an approved program

  4. Receive a college acceptance letter

The correct answer is: Be a high school student enrolled in an approved program

Earning the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential involves meeting specific requirements set by the CDA Council. One essential requirement is that candidates must have a high school diploma or equivalent; however, there is also an avenue for high school students who are enrolled in approved programs that focus on early childhood education to pursue the CDA credential. This pathway allows students to gain valuable experience and demonstrate their commitment to the field of early childhood education even before officially graduating. The emphasis on being a high school student in an approved program is important because it highlights the CDA's inclusive approach to education in the field, recognizing that early involvement can benefit both the student and the profession. This makes the CDA accessible to a wider range of individuals who are passionate about child development and education.
