Accreditation

In an effort to promote the need for high quality child care, the 4C of the U.P. offers resources and support for programs interested in becoming accredited. Our agency not only has accreditation materials in their resource library, but also offers a variety of support opportunities for anyone working towards the goal of quality improvement.

Promoting Quality through Accreditation

A major part of NAEYC's efforts to improve early childhood education is through different systems of accreditation for programs that are committed to meeting national standards of quality."
