Renewing your Child Development Associate® (CDA) credential is a powerful step toward advancing your career and reaffirming your commitment to quality early childhood education. If your CDA has expired, now is the time to act. Eligible professionals have the opportunity to renew an expired credential, no matter how long it's been inactive. If your credential expired as far back as January 1, 2020, you may qualify to restore it and continue to be a confident and credible early childhood professional.

What is the benefit of renewing your Credential?

- Opportunity for career advancement
- Continued professional development
- Reinforce your commitment to the early childhood profession
- National recognition as a holder of the only competency-based early childhood credential

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. TEACH Missouri is here to support your journey by offering scholarships and personalized guidance to help you meet the renewal requirements. Our dedicated counselors can walk you through each step of the process, ensuring you have the resources and support needed to successfully reactivate your CDA. But act fast—the amnesty program ends July 31st. 

Take advantage of this opportunity to renew your professional standing and continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families.
