Center Quality & Features
- NAEYC Standards: The Kids by the Bay Child Development Center offers a high-quality, developmentally appropriate curriculum with low teacher / child ratios. The center is set up to meet and in some cases exceed the accreditation standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) -- a highly regarded child development organization. NAEYC standards are only achieved by 8% of all 110,000 programs nationally. The center will apply for NAEYC accreditation when eligible, after one year of operation.
- Low Ratios: The center operates with low teacher to child ratios and small group sizes. This allows our teaching staff to focus more on small group and individual needs of each child.
