Jasmine Jones

Child Development Associate Certificate

Ever since I enrolled at CUNY SPS CDA program, many doors have opened for me. Firstly, I feel better prepared to work with children in the classroom. My coursework has enabled me to build a positive, curiosity-filled, nurturing, and safe learning environment for my diverse learners. Each day brings a new adventure with the chance to apply my learning within my classroom walls.The CDA coursework has taught me many strategies that I have been able to implement in my classroom. I am thankful for this opportunity every day.

Khadijah Frederick

Child Development Associate Certificate

When I took the CDA course in 2018, I just needed 16-18 Ed credits for work but I didn't realize that I would learn so much from that program and how it would change me and become the catalyst I needed to get me back in to school to finish my degree. It changed my perspective and truly made me a better educator. I didn't go on to become certified by OCFS but it sparked something else in me. Now I am 3 classes away from the finish line, I'm so excited to close this chapter and proud of myself for finally seeing this through. I owe so much to the knowledge I learned from you and the other professors in the CDA program. Those courses taught me tools that I use in my trainings and orientations with my current and perspective staff. It became more than a minor licensing requirement for work and DOH, it sparked me to take my education further.
