What is the difference between the CDA certificate and the TECTA Program?
CDA (Child Development Associate) is a nationally recognized, professional credential for individuals interested in a career in early childhood education. The CDA substantiates training and skills necessary as a primary caregiver for young children. The TECTA Program is a grant program designed to enhance and support the qualifications of early childhood education personnel. In some cases, TECTA may provide scholarships monies for students who meet the program’s requirements and are pursuing a CDA. However, a student does not have to be a TECTA student in order to enroll in Southwest’s CDA certificate program. For more information on the TECTA program, call (901) 333-5534 or log on to /tecta/.
