WFC's School Readiness Preschool Nationally Reaccredited
October 20, 2013
The WFC Dooley Child Development Center has recently been reaccredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).NAEYC's national accreditation system sets professional standards for early childhood education programs, helping families to find high-quality programs for their children.
We prepared for the ongoing reaccreditation process for over a year with training, self-evaluation, and program improvements. We finished with a program assessment through on-site visitation, classroom portfolios, and a program portfolio. Assessors evaluated our program for compliance with 10 High Standards for program excellence.
Our program was granted commendations in 8 out of the 10 standards, and we look forward to focusing our future quality improvements on the remaining two standards: Physical Environment (Building and Physical Design) and our Curriculum related to Science and Social Studies.
