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!


What makes the CDA Bridge Bundle unique?

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.


Who is the CDA Bridge Bundle designed for?

This training is perfect if you:

  • Have already completed the Maryland 90-hour certification

  • Want to advance your #career and meet higher state standards

  • Are looking to boost your professional credibility with families and employers

  • Plan to eventually pursue leadership roles in #early-childhood-education

If this sounds like you, the CDA Bridge Bundle may be exactly what you need!


What Bridge Bundle options are available?

At ChildCareEd, we offer three tailored CDA Bridge Bundles, so you can choose the one that best fits your role and goals:

Each track focuses on age-appropriate skills, knowledge, and strategies while aligning with CDA competency standards.


Why should you pursue the CDA after your 90-hour certification?

Earning your CDA Credential goes beyond checking a box—it can:

  • Enhance your professional credibility and confidence

  • Open up more career opportunities and advancement potential

  • Build stronger relationships with children, families, and colleagues

  • Align your skills with national standards of excellence

Check out our article, Bridging the Gap Between the 90-Hour and CDA Credential for Maryland Providers, to dive deeper into why this step is so valuable.


How can you prepare for success?

In addition to your Bridge Bundle training, you’ll want to start building your CDA portfolio—a key part of the credentialing process. To help you, we’ve created a #free tool: the Birth to Five CDA Credential Professional Portfolio Guide.

This resource provides structure, examples, and step-by-step instructions to make portfolio creation easier and less #stressful.


Is the CDA Bridge Bundle right for you?

If you’re ready to move beyond your 90-hour certification and invest in your future, the CDA Bridge Bundle could be your perfect next step. With specialized training options, resources to guide your portfolio, and the credibility of a nationally recognized credential, you’ll be setting yourself up for long-term success in #early-childhood education.
