Can you get a CDA with as associates in elementary education?

No, an Associate's degree in Elementary Education is not sufficient to obtain a CDA (Child Development Associate) credential. The CDA credential requires a different set of qualifications, including specific coursework and supervised experience in early childhood education, regardless of whether you have an associate's or other degree. While an associate's degree *might* help you meet some of the CDA requirements, it doesn't automatically grant it. You would still need to complete the CDA application process.
