CDA Training Providers

Child Care Associates (CCA) is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2026RFP#04 to identify partners capable of providing comprehensive Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential Support Services. The primary objective is to assist early childhood professionals in Tarrant County and the North Central Texas workforce region in earning their CDA credentials by reducing barriers to participation and improving credential attainment, retention, and career advancement. The scope of work includes participant intake, onboarding, CDA-aligned education support, portfolio assistance, coaching, and navigation services to guide professionals from initial referral through the official award of the credential. Contractors are expected to implement practical strategies to address challenges related to language, literacy, technology, and transportation. The anticipated contract term is three years with one additional two-year renewal option. Award decisions will be based on successful negotiations, with a scoring system of 0-100 points per criterion; notably, the lowest price alone will not determine the award. Proposers must submit a detailed response including relevant experience, staffing models, and a cost proposal using the mandatory Attachment D pricing workbook in Excel format. Key requirements include the identification of qualified personnel, the establishment of rigorous data quality controls for monthly and quarterly reporting, and the disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. The deadline for responses is November 10, 2026.
