Our early education and care
program, New Beginnings Childcare, has
earned accreditation from the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the
nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals.
To earn NAEYC Accreditation, New Beginnings Childcare went through
an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against
the ten NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related
Accreditation Criteria. The program received Accreditation after an on-site
visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program met each of the program
standards.
In the 25 years since NAEYC
Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of
high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently
accredited by NAEYC – approximately 8 percent of all preschools and
other early childhood programs.
“We are extremely proud of the childcare
program staff. They worked hard to accomplish their goal of earning this mark
of quality from NAEYC,” said Paul Bailey, Executive Director. “NAEYC
Accreditation assures families in our community that children at New Beginnings
are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible.”
