Why did Richelle pursue her CDA through the CDA Scholarship project? “I’ve been working in child care and I wanted the CDA to back up my experience and knowledge. The process was easy and the step-by-step instructions were helpful. I did appreciate receiving one instruction at a time. At times it was a challenge taking the courses but I overcame it by seeing the bigger picture and focusing on getting at least one class done a day. I especially appreciate learning strategies to engage with families and refreshing my knowledge on guidelines and practices.” You too can earn your CDA at no cost.
