Overview

This exciting comprehensive course bundle is designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge for success as an early childhood educator who understands the importance of mental health awareness in the classroom. First, you will get a working knowledge of early childhood education and prepare for the Child Development Associate (CDA) certification process of the Council for Professional Recognition with content review, assessment practice, and portfolio preparation.

The CDA training course will include a thorough introduction to early childhood education. See the corresponding course outline below for specific key topics covered in our online CDA certification course.

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT®) training course provides you with a full pathway to become a BACB certified RBT.
