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.
