Both CDCs are currently accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC Accreditation represents the mark of quality in early childhood education. To achieve NAEYC Accreditation, early childhood education programs volunteer to be measured against the most robust and rigorous national standards on education, health and safety. By engaging in self-study and pursuing NAEYC Accreditation, programs discover that they create a stronger and more committed team of teachers, administrators, and families who work together to continually improve program quality. Teachers and administrators find their work more rewarding. Families appreciate and seek out NAEYC-accredited programs for their children. In spring 2008, both programs scored exceptionally well during our reaccreditation process and maintain accreditation until August 2013.
A Parent Advisory Board (PAB), consisting of appointed parents of children attending Child Development Programs (CDPs), provides recommendations for improving parent involvement and gives valuable input on the program’s operations. The goal of this group is to enhance the overall satisfaction of parents, children, and staff. We encourage all parents to become involved.
