Hi Jacqueline, that's an interesting question. I would think there is nothing wrong listing one's CDA certificate. However, the trend has always been that people go with their highest level first. But as part of your resume it needs to be there because it gives more credibility working in an early childhood center.

For those with higher ed degrees in unrelated fields (i.e. Bachelors, Masters) who subsequently earned a CDA to further advance their career in early education:
How, if at all, do you list your credentials? Is it inappropriate to list the CDA in addition to the higher degree? I am curious to hear from other professionals.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
