Certified Child Development Associate Trainer Services

The City of Savannah, Georgia, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide certified Child Development Associate (CDA) trainer services. The agency needs to train a minimum of 100 income-eligible participants and assist them in meeting the required 120 hours of professional development. This initiative aims to help participants complete their CDA Portfolio or Resource File, prepare for classroom observations, and pass the national exam. The selected vendor must develop a curriculum and supporting lesson plans based on the six CDA Competency Standards established by the Council for Professional Recognition. The scope of work requires the vendor to deliver three instructional units for each participant cohort to cover the full 120 hours of instruction. Additionally, the vendor must provide all training guides, resource materials, and official CDA competency books to the participants. The vendor is responsible for hiring and managing qualified instructors who possess the necessary skills and knowledge to implement the CDA training. The agency requires the vendor to conduct and complete background checks on all hired trainers before any training sessions begin. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations, and the contracted instructors must perform all training services onsite in Savannah. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for these services. Bidders must submit their proposals according to the guidelines, though the source document does not specify the key dates or deadlines for this opportunity.
