Interested in working in early education? Want to make a difference in your community?
Early Childhood Alliance’s paid Child Development Internship Program could be your next step in an exciting career!
Working in a high quality childcare program requires staff to have a CDA credential, which can be costly. Our Child Development Internship Program provides interns the opportunity to work toward obtaining this important credential while getting paid!
What is a CDA?
CDA stands for “Child Development Associate® (CDA) Credential.” The CDA® is a nationally recognized credential awarded to individuals who complete specified training, pass an exam and complete an assessment. The CDA® prepares those seeking opportunities to work in early childhood education to meet children’s physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.
A CDA CREDENTIAL
- Empowers early childhood educators with greater knowledge and advanced skills, enabling them to better meet children’s individual needs and enhance the overall quality of care and education.
- Is recognized nationally, enhancing career opportunities for the early childhood educator no matter where he or she works.
