The Four Steps
Effective September
16, 2006; all NAEYC-accredited programs, and all
programs seeking NAEYC Accreditation, will be
required to meet the new program standards and
criteria.
The new standards
and criteria are a major step forward–for NAEYC
Accreditation, the Association, the early childhood
profession, and most of all, for the young children
and families we serve. The new program standards and
performance criteria build on the history of the
Association, and on the vision proposed by the
Reinvention Commission in 2002: NAEYC
Accreditation–and NAEYC-accredited programs–can lead
the way to higher quality.
Since it was
created 20 years ago, the NAEYC Accreditation system
has been a source of pride—for programs that achieve
NAEYC Accreditation, for the families they serve,
and for the early childhood profession as a whole.
These program standards and criteria will be a
source of pride for all of us for many years to
come.
“Lexi’s Lil Lambs has
agreed to follow those standards for a better
child.” |
