Have you let your CDA expire?
Have you continued your professional development or earned a degree?
Do you want to stay connected with the CDA community of early childhood professionals?
Many professionals who earned a CDA earlier in their careers let it expire years ago and are no longer eligible for renewal, despite their continued work and training in early childhood education. Some have gone on to earn a Bachelor or Associate degree but find value in staying connected to the CDA Community by renewing their CDA.
Announcing the CDA Renewal Amnesty Program
Beginning March 1, 2012, the Council will launch the Renewal Amnesty Program, which will allow anyone who has earned or renewed a CDA in the last ten years to apply for Renewal, even if their CDA has expired. This means that if your CDA has a credential date of January, 2002 or later, you are eligible for Renewal Amnesty. This program will only last until December 31, 2012 so don’t delay… Renew your CDA today!
CDA Renewal Requirements:
- 4.5 CEUs or 3 college-credit-hours of training within the last 5 years
- A recommendation from an ECE professional who is familiar with your professional work
- A valid pediatric first aid certificate
- Membership in an ECE professional membership organization
- A brief letter from a supervisor testifying that you have worked with children or families of young children at least 80 hours in the past year
