About CDA
Credential 2.0
The Council for Professional
Recognition launched the revamped
and much anticipated CDA 2.0
credentialing process providing an
updated curriculum and more. Camp
Fire First Texas is THE community
leader when it comes to assisting
early childhood professionals in
receiving the BEST first step in their
credentialing process and provides
an approved course through several
workforce commissions for Texas
Rising Star programs. Camp Fire
repositioned the course curriculum
to ensure our students receive the
most up-to-date and comprehensive
instruction. Our skilled and
experienced instructors connect
current research with classroom
practices and industry leading
support materials including the
most up-to-date version of NAEYC’s
Developmentally Appropriate Practice
Book, the accompanying CD with
extra readings and classroom videos
to use as examples. Our class meets
20 times face-to-face and includes
homework assignments to meet the
120 clock hour training requirement to
receive a CDA Credential.
Be sure, during the CDA process, to
ask your instructor for a progress
letter for your file at your early
childhood center. We are happy to
provide documentation along the
way that you are working towards
your credential while also receiving
the necessary hours to meet licensing
requirements.

If you build a strong foundation, your
children will soar and reach their full

Subject Area 3
3 Clock Hours
As you watch children grow and learn,
it is important to remember that each
child develops at his or her own pace,
and that the range of normal is quite
wide. However, it is helpful to be able
to recognize developmental delays
in young children. These delays are
significant lags in one or more areas
of language, physical, cognitive,
or emotional development. Early
identification and intervention is the
best way to help a child reach their full
potential. This session will help you
recognize subtle differences and be
aware of red flags for autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) and other development
delays. You will also participate in
activities that simulate what it feels like
to have learning differences.

Creating the School
Family - Our Job
as the Safekeeper
Travis Davis, M.Ed.
Integrate social-emotional well being
into your existing curriculum after
attending this must-have session. In the
past, we thought that rules governed
behavior, but classrooms implementing
Conscious Discipline recognize that
relationships are what truly help young
learners intrinsically monitor their own
behavior. Attend this session to consider
ways to increase helpfulness and
connection among the children, foster a
cooperative spirit and discover our role
of the Safekeepers in the classroom.
Move past the language of fear and
separation and communicate with your
young children the importance of safety
and unity.

Success in Toddlers!
A Practical Guide to
Challenging Behaviors
Audrey Rowland, M.A.
As toddlers work to make sense of
the world, develop relationships,
and learn to use their bodies, some
behaviors can become challenging in
the group environment. Biting and
tantrums can be frustrating. Teachers
and directors need practical solutions.
In this workshop, we will review the
developmental reasons that these
behaviors are common and how we
can adjust the environment, routines,
and interactions to reduce them.
We will also discuss best practices
for responding to the child. Effective
policies and procedures for biting, how
to communicate with parents about
toddler behaviors, and what to do when
biting becomes a crisis in the center will
be covered in this workshop.

A Great Place to Work:
Creating a Healthy
Organizational Climate
Prerna Richards, MBA
INTERMEDIATE level
This class is designed for administrators
who have been in the field at least
two years.
Early childhood program administrators
often have an overall impression that
things are going well or not so well
at their center, but they lack specific
feedback on just what different areas
of the organization contribute to those
impressions.
This workshop
helps directors
precisely define the
ten dimensions of
a center that shape
the quality of work
life for staff. It will help administrators
look at their program in these ten terms
and provide ideas to sharpen leadership
skills and implement strategies that will
make the center a great place to work.

Successful staff recruitment and

of effective recruitment, screening,
selection and orientation strategies at
their fingertips. This workshop provides
a framework for strategies to improve

Michelle Kinder, Executive Director
Momentous Institute
When kids feel safe and secure, their brains soak up learning.
Children need secure attachments to safe adults and they
need help developing skills to calm themselves down,
connect with others and make good decisions.
The toxic stress that comes with living in poverty is
compromising the health of today’s children. Teachers and parents are frustrated
by the sometimes unseen factors getting in the way of kids ability to learn and
focus.
We know this better than anyone, but aren’t always sure what strategies to
integrate into the classroom to shift that reality. Michelle will discuss strategies
such as Brain Basics, Brain Breaks and more during her keynote and breakout
sessions at the Camp Fire Spring Conference. This keynote may change the
way you view the toughest kids you serve and will provide specific strategies to
promote healthy attachment and brain development with all children.
