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.

Sneak peek 👀 EELC attendees received a copy of the Council’s highly anticipated children’s book, Mr. Nakada’s Busy Day, written and illustrated by Shunsuke Baba and edited by Dr. Calvin E. Moore, Jr. during our Networking Luncheon. Afterwards, Mr. Baba and Dr. Moore signed each attendees copy. While this special publication won’t be available through the Council store until 2025, our attendees loved receiving this advanced preview. Stay tuned for more information on this lively story about a day in the life of a CDA® educator. . . . #EELC2024 #MrNakadasBusyDay #childrensbook #CDAcredential #earlychildhoodeducation #ECEliterature #bookpreview #signing #ceo #ECEcommunity #childhoodeducation #booksigning #exclusivepreview #ECEconference #earlyeducators #futureofECE #teacherlife #CDAeducator #CouncilforProfessionalRecognition #coming2025 #storytime #mycda #conference #special

What a start! 🥳 Day one of #EELC2024 kicked off with a heavy-hitting opening session. First, we welcomed a Frederick Douglass impersonator who gave a background for this historical figure and inspired attendees to be more accepting and supportive during young child's educational journey. Then, we welcomed our dynamic keynote speaker, Eddie Koen, who shared his own story and the power of having a positive figure in a child's life. His words were both inspiring and encouraging, setting an exciting tone for the rest of the conference. We're can't wait for what's to come and look forward to sharing the experience here! . . . #earlylearning #earlylearningconference #childhoodeducation #positiveimpact #frederickdouglass #openingsession #educationconference #earlychildhoodleaders #inspiringeducation #supportingchildren #childhooddevelopment #educationmatters #educatorcommunity #conference #makingadifference #inspirationineducation #earlylearningadvocates #eceprofessionals #educationalleaders #childhoodimpact #recap #latergram #exhibition
