If a teacher has a CDA with a specialization in Infants and Toddlers but is teaching a group of preschoolers, does she meet the staff qualification for a CDA?
It is correct that only a CDA is specified. Ideally, the teacher should have the credential for the specific age group she/he is teaching (preschool or infant/toddler) but this is not required for inclusion in the percentage of teachers who meet the criterion for staff qualifications (6.A.05) or the candidacy requirements.
