NAEYC

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation is a national voluntary system to measure the quality of child care centers and preschool and to help these programs improve. Parents have high expectations and so does NAEYC. NAEYC can help parents feel good about the child care and preschool programs they choose. When you choose an accredited program you’re joining a center that meets those high expectations. More than 20 years ago NAEYC created an accreditation system to improve the quality of education and care provided in programs for young children. NAEYC Accreditation has become the mark of quality, helping parents find the best possible early childhood experience. Programs that meet these standards provide a safe and healthy environment for children, have teachers who are well-trained, have access to excellent teaching materials, and work with curriculum that is appropriately challenging and developmentally sound. Nation wide there are 11,000 NAEYC Accredited centers serving approximately one million children. CCLC is proud to operate NAEYC Accredited centers.
