We are continuously working through Accreditation Portal technical difficulties. Fixes are happening daily. Find updates and answers to many of your portal questions here.

Your Accreditation Portal is Ready for You

You spoke, we listened and made enhancements. Just like you, we are committed to continuous quality improvement and are excited to announce two major enhancements in response to your feedback.

1. Access the Portal

You can now log in and explore The Early Learning Program Accreditation Portal*. You’ll be able to access your basic program records, add more data, and move through the accreditation process at your own pace.

Log in to the Accreditation Portal

• User ID: the email address you have on file with NAEYC
• Password: select “forgot password” to reset and create a new password

*The Accreditation Portal does not impact portfolios. Continue to use the paper-based or electronic portfolio method that works for you.

2. Your Timeline is Now in Your Hands

You now are able to advance through the accreditation process at a pace that is right for you. You do not need to calculate cohort dates. Instead, you can advance anytime  within the timeframe allotted for each step.
