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 new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards.  Today, nearly 10,000 NAEYC accredited early childhood education programs serve families around the nation.

"The primary gauge of quality has been accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children… whose seal of approval is regarded as the gold standard by parents, educators and facilities."
