If you’re a child care professional in Maryland, you already know how valuable continuing education can be. The 30-Hour CDA Bridge Bundle is designed to help you take the next big step—from your 90-hour certification to earning the highly respected Child Development Associate’s (CDA) Credential. Wondering if this is your path forward? Let’s find out!
Unlike general training courses, the CDA Bridge Bundle was created specifically for Maryland child care providers who already hold a 90-hour certification. This program is a specialized bridge that fills in the exact training gaps needed to qualify for the CDA.
By focusing on the areas the 90-hour course doesn’t fully cover, the Bridge Bundle ensures you’re well-prepared to meet CDA standards—without unnecessary repetition.
This training is perfect if you:
