Dr. Hagit Gregory founded Training Innovations LLC with a deep commitment to
enhancing child development practices through education and training. Her motivation
stemmed from years of observing the gaps in knowledge and resources available to
caregivers and educators. Recognizing that informed adults are crucial for fostering
healthy childhood growth, she aimed to create a platform that offers comprehensive
courses grounded in the latest research and best practices. By equipping professionals
and parents with the tools they need, Dr. Gregory believes they can better support
children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development, ultimately leading to stronger,
more resilient future generations.

They have a responsibility to give children a secure and caring environment, support their development throughout their most formative years, and aid in their cognitive, emotional, and physical development. This entirely online course will get you ready for the Council for Professional Recognition’s Child Development Associate® (CDA) certification program.
Child Development Associate Career Paths
Head Teacher
Preschool or Daycare Head Teacher
Preschool teachers educate and care for children between the ages of three and five who have not yet entered kindergarten. They provide instruction in language, motor, and social skills to young children. Daycare teachers work daily with children of toddler age during the day. They must incorporate physical and mental awareness to assist the children with their daily activities, plan new activities and projects for them to do each day, and be mindful and aware of their safety at all times.
Teaching Assistant
Preschool or Daycare Teaching Assistant
The duties of a preschool teaching assistant may include documenting student performance and progression, preparing lessons and materials, and assisting teachers with classroom management. As an assistant daycare teacher your role is to help the head teacher in supervising the class and making sure the toddlers are safe and happy.

Some children need a little extra help. As a tutor with a child development associate certification, you will be able to visit homes and help children develop skills they need to enter kindergarten, putting them on a great path!
The Birth of the Child Development Associate Credential
A team of creative early childhood educators got together in the early 1970s to discuss how to raise the standard of early care and education. These meetings gave rise to the idea for the CDA® Credential. The first CDA was granted in 1975 following several years of development.
