TBDC & Learning Center is proud to be a part of the three percent of centers nation wide who are accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

​

Early childhood programs accredited by NAEYC have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study and improvement. Each NAEYC-accredited program must meet all ten of the Early Childhood Program Standards. These standards are based on the latest research on the education and development of young children. Accredited programs must:

• promote positive relationships for all children and adults.

• implement a curriculum that fosters all areas of child development--cognitive, emotional, language, physical, and social.

• use developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate and effective teaching approaches. 

• provide ongoing assessments of child progress.

• promote the nutrition and health of children and staff.

• employ and support qualified teaching staff.

• establish and maintain collaborative relationships with families.

• establish and maintain collaborative relationships with and use resources of the community.

• provide a safe and healthy physical environment.

• implement strong program management policies that result in high-quality service.
