CDA Verification Visits

Support for early childhood candidates completing the CDA credential.

Verification visits are a major milestone in the CDA process. I provide a clear, structured experience that helps candidates feel prepared, supported, and confident. You receive guidance before the visit, a complete classroom observation, a focused portfolio review, and a reflective conversation to strengthen your professional growth.

Verification Visit Process

Pre-visit communication

You receive a clear outline of what to expect and how to prepare. We confirm your classroom age group, schedule, and portfolio status.

Visit Scheduling

We choose a day and time that works for your center’s routine. I arrive early enough to settle in and review your goals.

Classroom Observation

I will complete the 2-hour CDA observation while you teach as you normally do. You do not need to prepare a special lesson or demonstration.

Portfolio Review

I review your portfolio and provide supportive, professional feedback.

Reflective Dialogue

We talk through your strengths, highlights from the visit, and next steps in your growth as an early childhood educator.

Verification Submission

I submit your results to the Council promptly so you can move forward in the CDA process without delay.

What You Can Expect

Clear expectations from start to finish
A structured, predictable process
Calm, steady guidance
A professional and respectful experience
Support that lowers stress and builds confidence

Rhonda stayed positive and supportive from the start. She was flexible with my schedule, explained what to expect, and helped me stay calm during the entire CDA observation.
