 Accreditation

What is a Accreditation?

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the nations leading organization of early childhood professionals, created its accreditation program in 1985 to set professional standards for early childhood education, and to help families identify high-quality child care and early education programs. To earn NAEYC’S accreditation, a program conducts a self-study to determine how well it meets the ten standards, and the more than 400 related criteria. After necessary improvements are made, the program is observed by independent, professional assessors, and then reviewed by a national panel. Programs are accredited by NAEYC for a five-year period.

SandCastles is proud to be one of the NAEYC accredited programs in Boise, Idaho.
