Accreditation

NAEYC

Your child’s program meets NAEYC’s 10 standards of excellence in early childhood education. Programs that meet these standards provide a safe and healthy environment for children, have teachers who are well-trained, have access to excellent teaching materials, and work with a curriculum that is appropriately challenging and developmentally sound. These programs are continuously working together with families and the community to improve themselves and to provide the best possible educational opportunities for children.

Quality Rated 

Quality Rated gives families greater confidence in their child care choice because independent, credentialed experts in early childhood have assessed that the program is following best practices. Employing qualified well trained teachers, implementing individualized instruction, focusing on active learning and social emotional development and providing low student teacher ratio are all part of the Quality Rated system. Our center has the highest rating of 3 stars.
