CDA Module 3: Principles of Child Growth and Development

The preschool years are a time of tremendous growth, discovery, and learning as children develop the skills needed for success in school and beyond. Early childhood professionals who understand the principles of child growth and development are better equipped to create engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that support each child's unique strengths and needs. Principles of Child Growth and Development is a comprehensive professional development module designed for educators working in preschool settings. This 15-hour CDA module examines the physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language development of young children, with a focus on the preschool years. Participants will explore how children grow and learn through play, exploration, social interactions, and structured learning experiences. The coursework provides a foundation for understanding developmental milestones and recognizing the individual differences that influence children's learning and behavior. Learners will gain insight into the developmental characteristics of preschool-aged children and discover strategies for supporting school readiness, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, and positive social interactions. The module emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive, child-centered environments that encourage curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
