LICENSING & RECOGNITION
NAEYC ACCREDITATION
HCC earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)—the nation’s largest organization of early childhood educators—in July 1996. Our current accreditation runs through June 2021.
NAEYC is considered the gold standard for early childhood education and care. NAEYC-accredited programs demonstrate a commitment to providing high-quality programs for young children and their families. The accreditation process examines the total program, but the greatest emphasis is placed on the quality of interactions among staff and children and the developmental appropriateness of the curriculum—what really happens to the children. Health and safety, staffing, staff qualifications, physical environment, and administration are also evaluated during the accreditation process.
