WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD?Accredited homes and centers voluntarily measure up to national standards of quality that have been established by national child care organizations.Programs that are accredited have gone beyond minimum licensing standards and have made a commitment to provide the kind of care, attention, and stimulating activities that you and your children require. Caregivers in many accredited programs take part in on-going child development training. Trained caregivers are more likely to understand childrens needs at different ages, plan appropriate activities, and interact with children in warm and stimulating ways. They are also more likely to provide positive guidance for children, rather than harsh discipline. Parents who use accredited programs are very happy with them! These
programs undergo in-depth self-assessments, independent observation and
approval by professional experts. |
