  • 1.  CDA Certificate- Texas

    Posted 04-20-2023 01:51 PM

    Hello All!

    I have my CDA Certification and I am not wanting to go get my AAS in Child Development. Does anyone have any advise or know if any community colleges will take my certification and apply is to my degree plan? I also have college credits because I've been going back in front about what I would like to do. 

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Stefani, I taught at San Antonio College for almost 27 years, and we gave credit for up-to-date current CDA credentials. I think we substituted the Credential for about six hours, but I'm not sure about that. I retired from SAC in 2005, so I'm not sure if they are still doing that, but I recommend contacting whatever community college is close to you.
