NAEYC Accreditation has long set the national standard for high-quality early learning programs. Accreditation signals to families, educators, and policymakers that a program prioritizes high-quality learning experiences and continuous improvement. NAEYC has redesigned its accreditation system to better support early learning programs on their path to high-quality early education. The Early Learning Program Quality Assessment and Accreditation System now offers a more inclusive, flexible, and streamlined model that reflects the realities of today’s early learning landscape. This new system is more accessible to all program types and aligned with best practices.
Whether you’re a program seeking accreditation, a program who is curious to learn more about accreditation, or a currently accredited program who’d like to learn more about the new system, SPARQS is here to help you navigate. Join Julie Buechler, a SPARQS Quality Support Specialist, to learn more about the NAEYC Accreditation System redesign, how the redesigned Accreditation system aligns with Vermont’s quality standards (STARS), and ways that SPARQS can support your program.
