I wouldn't call it simple, but it is possible to complete the Walden Graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Administration for free within one term. This would be a fairly significant time commitment for three months, but it is possible. Even if you didn't complete it, you could get several free graduate classes with an early childhood focus.
Texas Agrilife Extension has classes that can be used towards a Child Development Associate credential:

They are, unfortunately, about to go through a format change, so there may be significant changes to this program.
