    Hi , I have completed all three courses for  Teachstone and almost done organizing my Professional Portfolio. I am in the 45 day window. I am currently not working do to Covid-19. My center has been put on standby status until the situation gets better. I am uncertain when I will be able to return to work. How will I be able to have someone watch me teach if I am not working at this time?

    Good morning, @lorie benford

    Congratulations on completing the CDA program! Your next step is to get started on the CDA application through the Council for Professional Recognition. You can apply for the CDA credential on the Council for Professional Recognition's website.


    Because many candidates are unable to fully complete the CDA application process due to childcare centers being closed, the Council will be extending all application deadlines by 100 days.​ You can find more updates on the application process here on their website.

    If you have any questions about the credentialing process, contact the 
    council's customer support at 800-424-4310 or cdafeedback@cdacouncil.org.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello @Alexandria Putman

    The CDA Council is aware that many candidates are unable to move forward with their CDA applications since many Centers are closed. The Council has extended all application deadlines by 100 days in response to that.​ You can find more updates on the application process here on their website.

    The 45-day window you are currently in is just the deadline for you to get your CDA Customer ID# to us so that you can get a voucher for the application fee. You are eligible for the voucher as a KinderCare employee. The deadline is separate from your CDA application deadline. You can find instructions on how to find and submit your Customer ID# in the Homeroom on your Teachstone account.

    I hope this helps!
