Feedback on the NAEYC Accreditation Standards and Criteria

NAEYC Criteria Review

One of the hallmarks of NAEYC Accreditation is its focus on continuous quality improvement. We expect it of programs that earn the torch-- the mark of NAEYC Accreditation and we expect it of ourselves as well.  The NAEYC Academy seeks feedback from programs and other interested parties with the goal of refining the criteria to better assess elements of quality practice. This long-term strategy is to seek feedback on specific criteria associated with each program standard to be considered in potential revisions, additions, or deletions based on new evidence from research.  

 

Submitting Feedback on the NAEYC Accreditation Criteria

NAEYC gathers feedback on all criteria through TORCH. Simply log in to TORCH and click on "Criteria Feedback" in the TORCH menu.  The feedback gathered through TORCH will be used to inform all formal reviews of criteria.
