The Children’s Place is one of the first programs in the country to earn the mark of quality represented by the reinvented National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation system.
“We’re proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,” said Alan Murray, President/CEO of TCP. “NAEYC Accreditation lets families and our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible.”
In the 20 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 11,000 programs, serving one million young children, are currently accredited by NAEYC – approximately 8 percent of all preschools and other early childhood programs.
“The new NAEYC Accreditation system raises the bar for preschools, child care centers and other early childhood programs,” said Mark Ginsberg, Ph.D., executive director of NAEYC. “The Children’s Place’s NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that they are a leader in a national effort to invest in high-quality early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start.”
