Improving the Quality of Child Care . . .
Accreditation is a voluntary process for child care programs.
Those programs who achieve accreditation have demonstrated a commitment to providing a high quality program for young children and their families. Emphasis is placed on the quality interactions among staff and children and the developmental appropriateness of the curriculum. The self study phase consists of program evaluation which identifies strengths and areas of improvement. Our staff will conduct classroom or home observations, parent surveys and an administrative report. For classrooms, there is also a staff questionnaire.
