Accreditation has been achieved by approximately seven percent of early childhood programs nationwide, which includes nearly 7,600 programs that serve more than 690,000 children.
Accreditation is for a three-year period.
It is important for the parents, children, and staff that we do our best to maintain standards of quality care. The UW Child Care Center, located at 555 N. 14th Street, serves 25 children ranging in ages from three to five. Child care centers, preschools, kindergartens, and before and after school programs are eligible for accreditation. The greatest emphasis is on the children's relationships with the staff and how the program helps each child grow and learn intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally.
