What is the CDA/PDR tool?

The CDA/PDR (Professional Development Record) is a tool created by the Better Kid Care Program to help record your 120 hours of professional development needed to obtain your CDA credential.

Why use the CDA/PDR tool?

A CDA/PDR will help you plan for, organize, record, and review your 120 CDA professional development hours. The CDA/PDR provides a tool for recording that helps the applicant pace their professional development work. It provides a visual of what has been completed as well as what is needed in regards to the required 120 hours of professional development needed (in each CDA subject area).
