    Preschool teachers educate and care for children between the ages of three and five who have not yet entered kindergarten. They provide instruction in language, motor, and social skills to young children. Daycare teachers work daily with children of toddler age during the day. They must incorporate physical and mental awareness to assist the children with their daily activities, plan new activities and projects for them to do each day, and be mindful and aware of their safety at all times.

  • Teaching Assistant

    Preschool or Daycare Teaching Assistant
    The duties of a preschool teaching assistant may include documenting student performance and progression, preparing lessons and materials, and assisting teachers with classroom management. As an assistant daycare teacher your role is to help the head teacher in supervising the class and making sure the toddlers are safe and happy.

  • Nanny

The Birth of the Child Development Associate Credential

A team of creative early childhood educators got together in the early 1970s to discuss how to raise the standard of early care and education. These meetings gave rise to the idea for the CDA® Credential. The first CDA was granted in 1975 following several years of development.
