Every program moves through the accreditation process on a different timeline.  To determine your program's accreditation timeline, see below.

Submission Dates for Programs that are Not Currently Accredited

• Programs that are not currently accredited may pursue initial accreditation following the general submission dates. 

Submission Dates for Currently Accredited Programs

• To avoid a lapse in accreditation status, programs accredited after September 2006 must complete the renewal process according to submission deadlines published in the timeline for currently accredited programs.
• Currently accredited programs that are willing to experience a lapse in NAEYC Accreditation may pursue reaccreditation following the general submission dates.
