Two accomplishments. A stronger future. Have you considered earning your CDA credential and college credit at the same time? If you’re already investing your time and energy to earn your Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, make that investment go further! Through the TEACH Missouri Scholarship, you can earn college credit toward an associate degree in Early Childhood Education while completing the education requirements for your CDA. In fact, 9 college credit hours meet the CDA’s 120-clock-hour education requirement. That means the coursework you complete can do double duty, helping you meet your CDA education requirement while also moving you closer to a college degree. With TEACH Missouri helping cover the cost, you’re not just making a smart investment of your time and energy; you’re making the best possible investment of TEACH Missouri scholarship dollars. Why stop at training when your effort can build toward a credential and a college degree? A CDA can strengthen your skills and demonstrate your commitment to the children and families you serve. College credits can build on that foundation and open the door to additional education, career opportunities, and professional growth. Don’t let the work you’re already doing stop with your CDA. Make your time, energy, and TEACH Missouri scholarship dollars work harder for you.
