Written by a credentialing representative of the Council for Professional Recognition, the second edition of "The CDA Prep Guide" reflects the latest changes in the Councils application procedures and includes updates to make the CDA process even easier. Filled with expert advice and clear instructions, this book helps early childhood professionals successfully earn their CDA Credential. As of March 2013, the Council for Professional Recognition made significant changes to "The Child Development Associate Assessment System and Competency Standards" materials and process. "The CDA Prep Guide" does not align with the newly revised Competency Standards. Consequently, Redleaf Press no longer publishes this resource, but an updated edition of "The CDA Prep Guide" (a third edition) will be available in 2014.
