CDA Scholarship Available for Family and Group Child Care Home Providers

Pennsylvania’s Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) and the PA Key invite Family Child Care Home and Group Child Care Home providers to apply for a scholarship to complete a Child Development Associate (CDA) through Better Kid Care.

About

Better Kid Care’s CDA coursework is independent, self-paced and exclusively online. This scholarship opportunity cannot be used for CDA renewals.

Once awarded, recipients will receive a payment code to access the online coursework through Better Kid Care. This program also requires the purchase of a CDA textbook package and this cost can be reimbursed through the Rising STARS Tuition Assistance program. The Pennsylvania Key will provide instructions for all of this and offer ongoing logistical support.

All coursework must be completed on or before Nov. 30, 2022.

Apply

Family Child Care Home or Group Child Care Home providers interested in this opportunity must submit a completed application via Microsoft Forms for consideration by Sunday, May 15, 2022.
