Beginning on Monday, March 16, 2020 and continuing through close of business on Friday April 24, 2020, NAEYC will transition its staff to a telework schedule and we will also suspend all domestic and international travel.

What does this mean for you:

• All site visits are on hold until Friday, April 17, 2020. No site visits will be taking place during this time.

Note that all calls will go directly to voicemail and a service representative will reply as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after the message is sent. We highly recommend contacting us by email at this time.

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.
