CONGRATULATIONS PARENTS

 

You have chosen an early childhood program for your child that is accredited by the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS.  The Academy administers a national, voluntary, professionally sponsored accreditation system for all types of schools and child care centers.  The Academy is a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the nation's largest organization of early childhood educators.

 

WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?

 

Early childhood programs accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study, invited external professional review to verify compliance with the Academy's Criteria for high Quality Early Childhood Programs and have been found to be in substantial compliance with the Criteria.  A copy of the Criteria can be obtained from the Academy (www.rightchoiceforkids.org).

 

ONLY 8% OF PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS ACHIEVE ACCREDITATION

 

Our awareness of some of the difficulties facing parents who need a quality place for their children is reflected in our low tuition.  That tuition price in turn creates the need, from time to time, to call upon parents to help with certain projects.
