The CDA® to Accreditation Pathway Scholarship Program supports FCC educators who have already earned their CDA® and are ready to continue their professional journey. NAFCC is partnering with the CDA® Council to award scholarships to active members pursuing NAFCC Accreditation.
Track 1
The Foundation Pathway is designed for CDA-credentialed educators ready to deepen their practice and connection to the NAFCC Quality Standards. Through this track, educators build a solid foundation of knowledge, confidence, and community as they take the first steps toward NAFCC Accreditation.
Track 2
The Elevation Pathway supports CDA-credentialed NAFCC State Representatives who are ready to model excellence and inspire others by becoming NAFCC Accredited. This track recognizes leaders who elevate quality and advocate for the power of Family Child Care on a national scale.
Track 1
Scholarships will cover the full cost of the Accreditation Bundle ($1085) for new accreditation only.
Track 2
Scholarships will cover the full Accreditation Bundle rate of $ 1,085. State Reps who do not qualify for the Scholarship are eligible for the Lead the Way Discounted rate ($600 for new accreditations, $500 for reaccreditation).
