Scottdale Child Development and Family Resource Center, Inc of Central DeKalb Among the First Child Care Programs Nationwide to be Accredited through More Rigorous NAEYC Accreditation Process In 2008, Scottdale Child Development and Family Resource Center earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children ( NAEYC ) the nation's leading organization of early childhood professionals. The NAEYC Accreditation system has set voluntary professional standards for programs for young children since 1985. In the 20 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 11, 000 programs, serving one million young children, are currently accredited by NAEYC approximately 8 percent of all preschools and other early childhood programs. As of September 2006, the Association's revised program standards and criteria have introduced a new level of quality, accountability, and service for parents and children in child care programs. The new standards reflect the latest research and best practices in early childhood education and development. NAEYC is committed to utilizing the newest studies and analysis on positive child outcomes to ensure young children continue receiving the highest-quality care and education possible. The new NAEYC Accreditation system raises the bar for preschools, child care centers and other early childhood programs, said Mark Ginsberg, Ph.D., Executive Director of NAEYC. Scottdale Child Development & Family Resource Center's NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that they are a leader in a national effort to invest in high-quality early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start. To earn NAEYC Accreditation in the new system, Scottdale Child Development & Family Resource Center went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria. The program received NAEYC Accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the ten NAEYC program standards. NAEYC-accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts for five years. We're proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards, said Audrey D. Collier, Executive Director of Scottdale. NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible. Scottdale Child Development and Family Resource Center's mission is to enhance the total development of young children while strengthening their families and communities.
