Rosa Jimenez Awarded Charlene Tressler Memorial Scholarship

Each year Child Development Associates awards a scholarship to recognize and reward the academic advancement of an early childhood education or child development student.

The Charlene Tressler Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor Charlene, Child Development Associates’ founder, who passed away on March, 2011. The intent of this scholarship is to encourage the pursuit of her passion — to provide the highest quality early childhood education to all young children.

Our 2022-2023 scholarship recipient, Rosa Jimenez, is currently attending Point Loma Nazarene University to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development to become a speech pathologist.

Rosa was awarded a $2,500 academic scholarship for school tuition, books, or fees.

“Child Development Associates is proud to be able to support San Diego’s future leaders by easing the financial burden of pursuing a college education and helping local students advance their education in the early childhood field,” said Rick Richardson, CDA President & CEO. “The investment in the first 5 years of life will pay dividends in generations of children and families to follow.”

The Charlene Tressler Memorial Scholarship Fund is made possible with support from The San Diego Foundation Scholarship Fund. The scholarship cycle opens on January 2023.

Call To Action

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

CDA Reimbursement Schedule
Family is authorized with a variable schedule

Variable schedules are reimbursed for the actual care hours provided that are within the hours authorized. The reimbursement will not exceed the amount billed by the provider or the full-time (FT) or part-time (PT) RMRC listed on the certificate for child care services. CDA will not reimburse for child absences, provider holiday or closure days on a variable schedule. If the full billed/invoiced amount is not paid, the parent is responsible for the difference directly to the provider.

Reimbursement of provider non-operation days/holidays

The number of reimbursable provider holidays and/or non-operation days is limited to a maximum of 10 days per fiscal year. Once these allowable limits are exceeded, reimbursement will be prorated for future closure days.

Reimbursement of registration fees, material fees, insurance fees

Fees for registration, material and/or insurance may be reimbursed if the current reimbursement amount does not exceed the Regional Market Rate Ceiling (RMRC). Reimbursement of these fees is limited to one (1) per child, per fiscal year and will be made in a single payment when requested on the child’s attendance record.

Note: For providers with programs that have multiple fees in one year or where it has been determined that the reimbursement amount exceeds the RMRC, the excess fees will be the responsibility of the parent.

License-Exempt Providers

When child care is authorized for a total of 25 or more hours per week the Full Time Weekly RMRC will be used. When child care is authorized for a total of less than 25 hours per week the Part Time RMRC will be used.
