They are the families, early education professionals, and educators who understand the importance of early learning for our children. There are a number of ways you can volunteer and help Idaho AEYC expand early childhood education for all of Idaho’s youngest learners.
Accreditation
Accreditation is a powerful tool through which early childhood professionals, families, and interested citizens can evaluate the quality of programs, make comparisons based on professional standards, and commit to strengthening programs through ongoing evaluations and improvements.
Parents choosing an early childhood education program can be overwhelmed by trying to find the highest-quality program for their child. NAEYC Accreditation is the mark of quality that gives families the chance to make the right choice for their child’s early education program.
