Beulah Christian Preschool and Child Care

Earns National NAEYC Accreditation

Program recognized among the top in the nation by earning accreditation 

BCPCC has once again earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)—the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children.

NAEYC Accreditation is a rigorous and transformative quality-improvement system that uses a set of 10 research-based standards to collaborate with early education programs to recognize and drive quality-improvement in high-quality early learning environments. We’re proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards.

To earn NAEYC Accreditation, we went through an extensive self-study and quality-improvement process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors (this past September 2022) to verify and ensure that the program met each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria. To note: NAEYC-accredited programs are always prepared for unannounced quality-assurance visits during their accreditation term, which lasts for five years.

In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 6,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition. 

CONGRATULATIONS to our fabulous staff on this outstanding achievement!
