Accreditation
What is Accreditation? Unlike licensing, which is
required by law for certain types of child care, accreditation is a decision
made by the provider. Accreditation means a provider has successfully shown
that she or he meets standards based on a national scale of professional
quality child care or education.
Accreditation for Family Child Care
National Association
for Family Child Care
To receive accreditation family child care providers
complete an in-depth review. This process includes: Proof of licensing.
Observation by a representative. Review of family child care records. A
written self-evaluation by the provider. A parent review of the provider’s
self-evaluation. Interviews with the provider.
Accreditation for Child Care Centers
National Academy
of Early Childhood Programs
Early childhood programs, such as child care centers,
preschool, kindergartens, or before-school and/or after-school programs
can apply for accreditation.
Accreditation can be granted for a three-year period.
Accreditation is awarded to programs that:
- Complete a broad self-study based on the Academy's Criteria for
High Quality Early Childhood Programs.
- Go through a site visit made by trained validators to verify the
self-study.
- Pass review by a 3-member national board (made up of recognized
experts in child care and early childhood education) who decide whether
the program is in agreement with the Academy's Criteria.
