Notes and Additional Curriculum Options
The Child Development Associate credential from the CDA Council is one of the most prominent in the field of Early Childhood Education. In conjunction with ECD coursework at MECC, the credential conveys a high level of competency to potential employers and increases students’ employability. There is a two-step process to earn the credential after completing the ECD certificate program at MECC. The first is to complete the CDA Exam, which can be completed at MECC. After passing the exam, students must complete the verification visit component. More information about this process will be provided as part of the above program coursework.
Course substitutions may be available. Please see an advisor for more information.
