Overview
Penn's innovative CDA program consists of 3 courses that build on the knowledge of early childhood practitioners, connecting child development theory and practice, as well as health, safety, nutrition, family/community relations, and ethical practice with children, families and the community. The CDA six competency goals and thirteen functional areas are integrated into course content and discussions.
These courses are being offered by the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education through the Penn Learning Network.

You may not miss more than two sessions across all three courses. If you are absent, please arrange a make up session with your instructor.
