Early Childhood Learning and Wellness Services (ECLW) celebrates a remarkable milestone as Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese) speaking family child care providers are earning their Family Child Care Child Development Associate credential. The Child Development Associate (CDA) credential is the most widely recognized credential in early childhood education. Candidates for this credential are required to take 120 hours of early childhood training in 8 subject areas, have at least 480 hours of professional work experience in a family child care setting, prepare a CDA Professional Portfolio, complete a 4-hour verification visit, and take a 60 question exam to receive their certification.
ECLW successfully conducted 6 cohorts of the 120-hour CDA training in Mandarin and Cantonese for Chinese child care providers, the first taking place from the Fall of 2017 to the Summer of 2020, and the last taking place from December 2022 to April 2023. Lack of language accessibility to the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential is a barrier for our Chinese-speaking child care providers and they struggled to get their CDA certification to meet the DECE’s mandate of being CDA certified. After 6 years, four of ECLW’s staff completed the first-ever National CDA Instructor Training and received certification as a Monolingual Chinese Professional Development Specialist. The first Chinese child care provider who graduated from our first 120-hour CDA training cohort was finally able to receive her CDA in February 2024, and a child care provider who graduated from our second cohort received the first-ever Monolingual Chinese CDA certificate on April 10, 2024.
We want to congratulate all the Chinese Providers who received their CDA certifications and graduated from our 120-hour CDA Training cohorts. Additionally, we thank the ECLW staff who provided the training, support, and guidance throughout the last six years so that we collectively achieved this milestone!
