Why My Teacher’s CDA Credential Makes My Day Amazing - post

Hi there! I’m a little kid who loves #playing, learning, and making new friends every day at my childcare center. You know what makes my days extra fun and special? It’s my #teacher—and guess what? She has a CDA Credential!

I might be small, but I can tell when someone really knows how to make me feel #happy, #safe, and excited to learn. Let me tell you all the reasons why having a teacher with a CDA Credential makes such a big difference in my life.

My Teacher Knows What I Need

When I play with blocks, color pictures, or read #books, my teacher always knows how to make it fun and just right for me. That’s because she learned all about kids like me when she earned her CDA Credential. She knows that I learn best when I feel safe, loved, and curious.

Sometimes I get frustrated when I can’t do something right, like tying my shoes or building a tall tower. But my teacher knows exactly how to help me without making me feel bad. She learned all about how to handle big feelings like mine during her CDA training.

She Makes Every Day Fun and Exciting

Every morning, my teacher has cool activities ready for us. One day, we made pretend pizzas and counted all the toppings. Another day, we built a fort with blankets and told stories inside.

My teacher is really good at planning these activities because of her CDA Credential. She knows how to make learning fun, even when I don’t realize I’m learning! She says playing is a superpower, and I believe her because I feel like a superhero when I try new things.

She Keeps Me Safe and Happy

My teacher makes sure I’m always safe. She checks the toys to make sure they’re okay to use, keeps our #classroom clean, and always watches out for us on the #playground. If I fall down or scrape my knee, she knows just what to do to make it better.

She told us that part of earning her CDA was learning about #safety and #health. That makes me feel really good because I know she cares about taking care of me and my friends.

She Talks to My Family

Sometimes I hear my teacher talking to my mom and dad about all the things I’m learning and doing. She tells them about the new words I’m saying, the songs I love, and even the silly stories I make up.

My #teacher-says her CDA training taught her how important it is to work with families. I like that she talks to my #parents because it makes me feel like we’re all on the same team!

She Believes in Me

When my teacher looks at me, I know she believes I can do big things. Whether I’m learning to count, sharing toys, or trying something new, she’s always there to cheer me on. She says her CDA helped her understand that every kid is special and can do amazing things in their own way.

That makes me feel really proud of myself, and it makes me want to try even harder.

Why a CDA Matters to Me

Even though I’m just a kid, I can tell that my teacher having a CDA Credential is a big deal. It’s like she earned a special badge for being the best teacher ever. It shows that she worked hard to learn how to take care of me and my friends in the best way possible.

I love coming to school every day because I know my teacher is ready to help me learn, grow, and have fun. So if you’re thinking about becoming a teacher and getting your CDA, just remember: kids like me are waiting for someone as awesome as you!

Thank you for being someone who wants to make my days amazing. You’ll be the reason I smile, laugh, and learn something new every day!
