Because the CDA Scenarios are based on all the competency standards, it’s super easy to find a specific competency. I select the standard, talk through the different scenarios, and students can apply what they learned. It makes the discussion way more fun and way more engaging.

I worked in child care for about 10 years before I started teaching. The situations in these cards are just like what happens in a real child care setting. Plus, the activities really followed along nicely with the curriculum we already have for our state standards.
