Accreditation

National Association for the Education of Young Children | NAEYC

The National Academy operates a national, voluntary accreditation process. The accreditation process identifies high quality programs for children from birth through school-age.

NAEYC’s purpose is to act on behalf of the needs and interest of young children. The goal is to provide standards and procedures that bring about real and lasting program improvements. The program respects the diversity of educational philosophies without comparing the developmental needs of young children.

Wauwatosa Day Care is proud to announce that we have gone through the voluntary process and have achieved accreditation at all eligible sites.
