Little Husky World Child Development Center, which was one of the first early childhood programs to earn accreditation in the new system from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), has successfully completed a five-year accreditation renewal process.
To ensure Little Husky World’s accreditation would continue, administrative officials, teaching staff and families had to prove the program was upholding the mark of quality represented by the NAEYC, the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals. Officials with Little Husky World learned earlier this week that the program had successfully completed the process and its accreditation will continue through 2018.
In 2008, the program first underwent the process of acquiring accreditation from the NAEYC, which included an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against 10 NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related accreditation criteria.
The Center, located within Scott Elementary School, is an available lab experience for Early Childhood Vocational Students. It is open to the public and serves families with children from three to five years of age. The program also is used by local colleges as a practicum site for Early Childhood Education students.
