CDA Program

CDA Level 1 - Infants and Toddlers

The Infant/Toddler CDA Program prepares educators to provide responsive, developmentally appropriate care for children from birth to age three. This specialization focuses on building secure relationships, supporting early brain development, creating safe and engaging environments, and understanding the unique needs of infants and toddlers. Candidates learn effective routines, observation skills, communication strategies, and ways to partner with families to nurture healthy growth. The Infant/Toddler CDA equips educators with the knowledge and competencies needed to promote early learning and provide high-quality care during the most critical years of development.
