Christian Learning Center NAEYC Accreditation

NAEYC Accreditation

The Orchard Hill Christian Learning Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). In the 20 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high quality early childhood education programs. More than 10,000 programs -- serving over 850,000 young children -- are currently accredited by NAEYC. By earning accreditation the Learning Center has become a leader in a national effort to raise the quality of early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start.

NAEYC created its accreditation program in 1985 to set professional standards for early childhood education, and to help families identify high-quality child care and early education programs. To earn NAEYC's accreditation, a program conducts a self-study to determine how well it meets the standards. After necessary improvements are made, independent, professional validators observe the program, and them reviewed by a national panel. Programs are accredited by NAEYC for a five-year period.
