Early Childhood Professionals Complete Training Course

Six early childhood professionals recently completed a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential preparatory course offered by Jefferson-Lewis Childcare Project at Community Action Planning Council. The group attended weekly classes from September to April. The CDA training program offers an opportunity for individuals working with young children to expand their knowledge, improve their practices, and grow as professionals. Training topics include child growth and development, program management, and professionalism.

In order to earn the CDA credential, candidates must also demonstrate competency through preparation of a professional portfolio and observation of their work with young children.

The next CDA class is scheduled to begin in September, 2019.

Community Action Planning Council would like to congratulate these dedicated individuals and wish them success as they continue their careers in the early childhood field.
