The CDA, or the Child Development Associate, is an important credential for those in the professional childcare space. Commercial center Directors and even family child care providers have this credential either because it is mandatory for the job they hold, or as a step towards professionalism and career advancement. Childcare is one industry that is here to stay no matter how the economy changes, however, the profitability of this industry is still subject to all the challenges of other businesses, even though demand for this service will never go away. Maintaining the CDA credential requires continuing education, and this education opportunity is prolific, but most of what is available surround the job itself - how to care for the kids, curriculum, safety, center specs, and more.
