Accreditation Standards

Kinder World functions under the accreditation standards set by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs (NAEYC) which is achieved by only 5% of programs nationally. Kinder World periodically undergoes an extensive self-study process measuring the program and its services against the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related accreditation criteria.

 

 

Kinder World ensures a high quality early childhood program. A high quality early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children.

 

In programs functioning under NAEYC Standards, you will see:

·                frequent, positive, warm interactions among adults and children

·                planned learning activities appropriate to children's age and development

                         Such as block building, painting, reading stories, dramatic and active outdoor play

·                specially trained teachers

·                enough adults to respond to individual children

·                many varied age-appropriate materials

·                a healthy and safe environment for children

·                nutritious meals and/or snacks

·                regular communication with parents who are welcome visitors at all times

·                effective administration

·                ongoing, systematic evaluation

 

"I think one of the greatest advances to child care was the creation of

the NAEYC Accreditation system, which has helped so much to raise the quality of programs."
