NAEYC Accreditation
[En Español]
At Kidango, we aim to provide the best early care and education services available by striving to meet the accreditation standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation by NAEYC is the only nationally recognized measure of quality for early care and education programs.
Founded in 1926, NAEYC is the world’s largest organization working on behalf of young children with more than 100,000 members, a national network of nearly 450 local, state and regional affiliates, and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations. The NAEYC Academy for Early Childhood Program Accreditation administers a national, voluntary accreditation system to help raise the quality of all types of preschools, kindergartens and child care centers.
NAEYC accreditation is granted on a program by program basis and a program is not accredited by NAEYC unitl it has successfully completed the entire accreditation process, including an on-site visit and subsequest review by NAEYC.
NAEYC accreditation provides a powerful tool to evaluate early childhood education programs. In preparing for accreditation, Kidango commits to ongoing evaluation and improvement, thereby strengthening program quality.
