Accreditation

Research shows a direct correlation between high-quality early learning and children's positive long-term outcomes in life, including increased educational attainment, healthier lifestyles, and more successful careers.

The Children’s Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC Accreditation helps teachers and other staff at early learning programs develop a shared understanding and commitment to quality. The accreditation process leads to increased staff morale, greater staff retention, and a more positive, energetic work atmosphere, enabling centers to provide a solid foundation for all children's success.

NAEYC Accreditation helps families recognize quality early learning programs and feel comfortable knowing their children receive a high-quality, research-based education that will prepare them for future success. It offers programs access to continuous quality improvement, the latest research on best practices, training, and technical assistance.
