A local development center has earned continuing accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Lincoln Land Community College’s Child Development Center earned the honor from the world’s largest organization working on behalf of young children.
The NAEYC accreditation is a system that uses a set of 10 research-based standards to recognize high-quality early learning environments. Less than 10% of all childcare centers, preschools, and kindergartens earn this honor nationwide.
Laurie Rhodes, director of the LLCC Child Development Center says she’s proud to have again earned the mark of quality from NAEYC. She says they are committed to serving as a model of best practices in early childhood education.
The center has been accredited since 1995 and serves children ages 15 months until entry to kindergarten. They offer childcare to LLCC students and community members while serving as a teaching lab for students.
