NAEYC Accredited Centers Highlighted
Quality early education is not a sterile process. It is worthwhile and a clear indicator for the community that a program is willing to focus its attention on the quality of experiences for young children. Thus, the accreditation system encompasses the spirit of a program — that invisible, indefinable something that is felt when one walks into a program where children come first and all decisions are made based on the question, "Is it Good for the Children?" As part of the Week of the Young Child Celebration, several NAEYC accredited centers in the Kansas City area have shared short videos highlighting quality care for children and families across a spectrum of needs.
