What accreditation means to you and to your child.
May 2008

awarded the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA). This nationally recognized accreditation follows
a rigorous process of self-study, surveys of parents and staff, verification by early childhood education/child care professionals,
and a final review by the NECPA Board of commissioners. The accreditation is valid for three years, after which the
program must complete the process again in order to maintain its accredited status.
During the accreditation process all areas of the school's program are scrutinized
including administration, staff development and the working environment, the developmental program, outdoor and indoor environments,
health and safety, and parent and community relations.
