Child Development Associate Certificate and Credential (CDA) The CDA assumes foundational knowledge of child growth stages, basic health and safety protocols, and early childhood education terminology before assessment begins. Most candidates enter with 480+ hours of direct classroom or center experience, plus coursework in child development theory. Without this background, you’ll struggle with scenario-based questions around behavioral guidance and age-appropriate practice.
