Child Development I - North Metro Technical College

Child Development I from North Metro Technical College is a Campus Certificate Child Care degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Program Purpose: The CDA I technical certificate of credit is designed to meet the training needs of persons already working in the field of early care and education. Persons enrolling in this program must have completed a minimum of 480 hours of work in the field with young children. This program is designed to provide the minimum formal training in early care and education competencies, knowledge, skills and techniques required to apply for a CDA credential from the Council for Professional Recognition in Washington, D.C. The CDA credential is not issued by the technical college and must be applied for and paid for separately from this program. However, this program is approved to provide the needed training to attain this credential. Once achieved, this credential is recognized nationally by Head Start and in Georgia by State Pre-K programs and in many other public and private early care and education settings as an entry-level credential. Students who do not wish to complete the national CDA credential may also enroll in and complete the CDA I technical certificate of credit as an entry level credential for work in the early childhood care and education field.
