Updated Checklist for Earning Your CDA Credential

The revised CDA checklist lays out every step—from finishing required coursework and supervised experience to assembling your professional portfolio and references. It calls attention to key documentation (training transcripts, family/guardian communications, reflective statements), and reminds candidates to schedule an observation and pass the CDA exam. Following the checklist streamlines your application, ensures you meet all credentialing requirements, and helps you prepare for a successful verification visit. #cda-credential #cda If you’d like a shorter or more casual version for social media, I can provide one.
