Have you let your CDA credential expire?
Have you continued your professional development or earned a degree?
Do you want to stay connected with the CDA community of early childhood professionals?
Take Advantage of the Renewal Amnesty Program!
Many professionals who earned a CDA earlier in their careers let it expire years ago and are no longer eligible for renewal, despite their continued work and training in early childhood education. Some have gone on to earn a Bachelors or Associates degree but find great value in staying connected to the CDA Community by renewing their CDAs.

As of March 1, 2012, the Council launched the Renewal Amnesty Program, which allows anyone who has earned or renewed a CDA in the last ten years to apply for Renewal, even if their CDA has expired. This means that if your CDA has a credential date of January, 2002 or later, you are eligible for Renewal Amnesty. This program will only last until December 31, 2012 so don’t delay… Renew your CDA today!

Make sure to take advantage of the Council’s online application to renew. It's faster, and you can easily check your status as you go through the process!
