This past week we got news that we received our NAEYC reaccreditation. What is accreditation?
.
“Early childhood programs accredited by the NAEYC Academy for Early Childhood Program Accreditation have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study and improvement. Each NAEYC-accredited program must meet all 10 of the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards.”
.
What are the 10 Program Standards?
- Standard 1: Relationships
- Standard 2: Curriculum
- Standard 3: Teaching
- Standard 4: Assessment of Child Progress
- Standard 5: Health
- Standard 6: Teachers
- Standard 7: Families
- Standard 8: Community Relationships
- Standard 9: Physical Environment
- Standard 10: Leadership and Management
More in-depth descriptions of each standard are available in this guide for families.
.
Congratulations to our amazing educators and our director, Jennifer Slattery, on this accomplishment!
