About this user
CDCA provides training, resources and support for providers, parents and caretakers.
Our Mission:
CDCA provides leadership and innovation in promoting quality child care, successful early childhood development and work/family balance.
CDCA was founded in 1969 as a result of the deep interest of a number of child care center directors in establishing a central organization for child care. At the same time the United Way of St. Louis was interested in assuring that high quality standards were in place in child care centers receiving United Way support.
The United Way agreed to fund the CDCA charge; that it would, within two years, develop a system of performance standards which all United Way child care centers would be required to meet. Thus CDCA became the only social service agency created by the United Way.
