The CDA is the best first step on a larger career ladder in the ECE field. 👟 As Congress continues to discuss ways to address the child care crisis, we are advocating that the CDA be embedded into federal regulations as the preferred entry-level credential for early childhood professionals.

About us
The Council for Professional Recognition is a nonpartisan organization that promotes improved performance and recognition of professionals in the early childhood education of children aged birth to 5 years old. We work to ensure that all professional early childhood educators and caregivers meet the developmental, emotional, and educational needs of our nation’s youngest children. The Child Development Associate® (CDA) Credential is designed to assess and credential early childhood education professionals. The Council recognizes and credentials professionals who work in all types of early care and education programs - Head Start, pre-K, infant-toddler, family child care, and home visitor programs. The Council sets policies and procedures for assessment and credentialing, publishes the Competency Standards and other materials used for CDA credentialing, and administers the assessment.

Last week, our Policy and Advocacy Manager Haley Brush joined the National Head Start Association on Capitol Hill to advocate for additional funding needed to support the implementation of the new rule published in August. It was a pleasure to join the Colorado State Team in meeting with Congresswoman Brittany Petersen, staff from Senator Hickenlooper's office, and others from the CO delegation. . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #headstart #childadvocacy #ece #policyandadvocacy #earlylearning #educationpolicy #capitolhill #advocateforchildren #fundingforeducation #congressionalmeetings #ecefunding #earlyed #coloradopolitics #childhooddevelopment #headstartprogram #educationalequity #legislativeadvocacy #eceadvocacy #headstartadvocate #mycda #cda #ece
