The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a nonprofit organization that is committed to advocating for the needs and interests of children. Their Program Standards serve as a guide for early childhood educators, providing best practices for working with children from birth to age 8.
Through NAEYC Accreditation, programs for young children are held to the highest standards in the industry. They must meet guidelines that guarantee a secure and healthy environment for children, have knowledgeable teachers, access to appropriate teaching materials, and a curriculum that is both stimulating and developmentally appropriate.
At our centers, we strive to uphold the NAEYC Program Standards for the benefit of every child in our care. Our staff is highly trained and our resources are top-of-the-line, so that our students receive the best possible education.
