CDA Options

Two options exist for completing your CDA coursework. The option you choose depends on how you wish to pay for your coursework.

Using TEACH Early Childhood Ohio Funds

If you plan to use TEACH Early Childhood Ohio funding, you must enroll in our Associate Degree program. Although you are under no obligation to complete the Associate's Degree, this step must be taken so that your TEACH funds can be applied to your tuition bill. For more information on admission requirements, deadlines, and how to apply to UC, click here. Standard UC Tuition rates apply.

Paying for the Class Without TEACH Funds

If you are not eligible for TEACH funding, we have an option that is designed just for you to make obtaining your CDA more affordable than ever. Our CDA Workshop contains the same information and provides the same number of training hours at a fraction of the cost. This workshop model is not eligible for TEACH funding or federal financial aid. The cost of the workshop is $999.00 per student. We offer a discount of $100 per student for centers who enroll 5 or more students into the same CDA workshop session. Payment for this option can be made by check, credit card, or invoice to your employer, and can also be paid all at once or in three easy payments.
