Child Development Associate (CDA) Training

Taking the first step toward a career in Early Childhood Development?

The Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential, awarded by The Council for Professional Recognition, can be a key stepping stone on the path of career development, advancement and certification in Early Childhood Education.  The CDA Program at MCC qualifies students to apply for Early Childhood Teacher certification from the MA Department of Early Education and Care.  

Through MCC, students can complete the required coursework necessary to earn the CDA Credential—and also earn up to 13 college credits.  The coursework and credits provided by MCC can then be applied toward an Early Childhood Education Certificate or even an Associate's degree!

HAVE QUESTIONS?
MCC will be offering several virtual information sessions to provide more information about this opportunity and to answer questions.  Information sessions will be held via ZOOM, a free online meeting app.  For information about how to join an information session, please R.S.V.P. to ececareerpathways@middlesex.mass.edu.
