NAEYC

National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Orange Early Childhood Preschool is accreditated by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

NAEYC Accreditation of programs for young children represents the mark of quality in early childhood education.

NAEYC accredited programs invest in early childhood education because they believe in the benefits to children and families. Early childhood experiences—from birth to age 8—have an enormous impact on children’s lifelong learning and positively contribute to their health and development. Early childhood education programs with the mark of quality benefit children with greater readiness for and success in school.

It is for this reason that parents and families are seeking out NAEYC-accredited programs. Parents choosing an early childhood education program can be overwhelmed by trying to find the highest-quality program for their child. NAEYC Accreditation is the mark of quality that families are looking for.
