Accreditation
Accreditation provides early childhood professionals with nationally recognized standards for high quality care and education. Accreditation is a professional, voluntary self-study program.Check yourself:
- Does your program strive to work beyond the minimum state licensing standards for staff training and staff/child ratios?
- Do you (and staff) have Early Childhood Credentials such as TECTA training, CDA Credential, Associates Degree or an Education or Business Degree?
- Do parents participate in your program?
- Does your program operate based on written policies to govern the program, staff, and parents?
- Are you a Tennessee licensed Center or Family Day Home?
If you can answer "YES" to most of these questions, then you may be already exceeding state licensing and be ready to seek National Accreditation for your high-quality childcare program!
