Since 1985, NAEYC has offered a national, voluntary accreditation system to set professional standards for early childhood education programs, and to help families identify high-quality programs. Today, NAEYC Accreditation represents the mark of quality in early childhood education. Over 7,000 child care programs, preschools, early learning centers, and other center- or school-based early childhood education programs are currently NAEYC-Accredited. These programs provide high quality care and education to nearly one million young children in the United States, its territories, and programs affiliated with the United States Department of Defense.
Learn about NAEYC Accreditation of Programs for Young Children at the NAEYC Annual Conference and Expo. Refer to the At a Glance flyer to choose the session that is right for you or sign up for one of our full-day separate fee workshops on Tuesday, November 17.
