CDA Program

CDA Level 1 - Preschool

The Preschool CDA Program prepares educators to support the learning and development of children ages 3–5 through intentional, developmentally appropriate practice. This specialization focuses on building meaningful relationships, promoting school readiness skills, creating engaging learning environments, and guiding children’s social–emotional growth. Candidates learn to plan curriculum, observe and assess progress, support emerging literacy and math skills, and collaborate with families. The Preschool CDA equips educators with the competencies needed to lead high-quality preschool classrooms and foster confident, curious early learners.
