The program at Bedford Stuyvesant Early Childhood Development Center offers community members the chance to earn six college credits towards a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, with a focus on teaching young children.
Kingsborough Community College's CDA program provides bilingual options in both English and Spanish, consisting of 140 hours of instruction across three core components from Spring to Summer 2024.
The program is free for applicants aged 18 and above with a high school diploma or equivalent, including textbooks, materials, and exam fees. It supports CDA competency achievement and professional portfolio development.
Dr. Denise Farrelly, director of the education program at KCC, emphasizes the opportunity for professionals in preschool, childcare, and family daycare to enhance child development knowledge within their community, with plans to expand to other Brooklyn communities.
